FD60 fire doors in Burnham-on-Sea, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Burnham-on-Sea, we offer FD60 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Burnham-on-Sea range from family homes after loft conversions to schools and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Before ordering FD60 doors for a Burnham-on-Sea building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Burnham-on-Sea 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:
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

Questions from Burnham-on-Sea
Do you cover TA8 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Burnham-on-Sea including TA8, and nearby towns such as Weston-super-Mare and Bridgwater. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can I upgrade an FD30 door to FD60?
Not by adding parts. An FD30 leaf cannot be turned into an FD60 door with extra strips or paint. If an opening needs 60 minutes, the leaf, and usually the frame, need to be replaced with a certified FD60 product.
Is FD60 just a thicker FD30?
No. FD60 doors are built and tested as a different product, usually with a thicker core, different seals and different ironmongery. Only the tested combination carries the 60-minute rating.
