FD60 fire doors in Cramlington

FD60 fire doors in Cramlington, done to the evidence

If you need FD60 fire doors in Cramlington, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Fire doors in Cramlington protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, small offices and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Cramlington building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Cramlington we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer

Rules and responsibilities in Cramlington

England's framework applies in Cramlington. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
