FD60 fire door installation in Wellington

FD60 fire doors in Wellington, done to the evidence

Looking for FD60 fire doors in Wellington? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Wellington and the wider Shropshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Around Wellington, small offices, schools and small blocks of flats 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 Wellington buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Wellington 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:

• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified

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.
