Getting FD60 fire doors right in Market Harborough

Our FD60 fire doors service in Market Harborough is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Around Market Harborough, houses with integral garages, light industrial buildings and family homes after loft conversions all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

FD60 openings in Market Harborough buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Market Harborough 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
