What FD60 fire doors in Pontypridd should include
Our FD60 fire doors service covers Pontypridd and the wider Mid Glamorgan area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Pontypridd range from care homes to houses with integral garages and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
FD60 openings in Pontypridd buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Pontypridd building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer.
What do you hand over at the end?
For every FD60 opening we record the product and certificate reference, the gap measurements, the hinge and closer specification, how the frame was fixed and what was used to seal the frame-to-structure gap, with photographs before the architraves go on. That record is what your fire risk assessor or building control officer will ask for.
What you get:
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Pontypridd, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Questions from Pontypridd
Do you cover CF37 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Pontypridd including CF37, and nearby towns such as Tonypandy and Caerphilly. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Is FD60 just a thicker FD30?
No. FD60 doors are built and tested as a different product, usually with a thicker core, different seals and different ironmongery. Only the tested combination carries the 60-minute rating.
Are FD60 doors harder to open?
They are heavier, so the closer has to be chosen and adjusted with care. A well-set closer will still close and latch the door while keeping the opening force reasonable for the people who use it.
