FD60 fire doors: our service in West Bridgford

Our FD60 fire doors service covers West Bridgford and the wider Nottinghamshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Around West Bridgford, light industrial buildings, family homes after loft conversions and small offices 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 West Bridgford buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in West Bridgford 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.

What you get:

• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence

Fire door law for West Bridgford properties

England's framework applies in West Bridgford. 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 West Bridgford, 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.
