FD60 fire doors in Weston-super-Mare, BS23

FD60 fire doors in Weston-super-Mare: what's involved

If you need FD60 fire doors in Weston-super-Mare, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

In and around Weston-super-Mare, fire door work covers everything from care homes to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

FD60 openings in Weston-super-Mare buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Weston-super-Mare 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:

• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
