FD60 fire doors in Cannock

FD60 fire doors: our service in Cannock

We provide FD60 fire doors in Cannock (WS11 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Buildings in and around Cannock range from schools to low-rise blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

For FD60 work in Cannock we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Cannock buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.

When does a building need FD60 rather than FD30?

FD60 doors appear where the fire strategy asks a wall to resist fire for an hour: stair cores and lobbies in taller buildings, plant and boiler rooms, some service risers, refuse stores and compartment walls between different uses. The rating follows the wall. Fitting an FD30 door in a 60-minute wall leaves a weak point, and fitting FD60 everywhere wastes money and makes doors harder to open.

We work from your fire strategy, the building's drawings or the fire risk assessment. Where these disagree with what is on site, we flag it before ordering.

On a typical job that means:

• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed

In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
