FD60 fire doors across Nottinghamshire

Getting FD60 fire doors right in Nottinghamshire

Across Nottinghamshire, from Nottingham to Mansfield, we survey, supply and fit FD60 fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.

For FD60 work in Nottinghamshire we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Nottinghamshire buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.

Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Nottinghamshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.

Why FD60 installation is less forgiving

A 54mm leaf can weigh considerably more than a 44mm one. That weight drives everything else: more robust frames and fixings, hinges rated for the load, and a closer with enough power to close and latch the door without making it too heavy to open. Glazing, if any, must use a 60-minute glass and glazing system from the same test evidence.

Because of this, most FD60 openings are best done as a certified doorset, so the frame and leaf come with matching evidence.

Fire door law for Nottinghamshire properties

England's framework applies in Nottinghamshire. 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.

For blocks over 11 metres in Nottinghamshire, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
