FD60 fire doors across Shropshire

FD60 fire doors in Shropshire: what's involved

For FD60 fire doors anywhere in Shropshire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Telford, Shrewsbury, Wellington and the rest of the county.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Shropshire building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. FD60 openings in Shropshire 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 Shropshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.

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.

Which fire door rules apply in Shropshire?

In Shropshire, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.

Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Shropshire building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
