FD60 fire doors in Farnham, done to the evidence
Looking for FD60 fire doors in Farnham? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Farnham and the wider Surrey area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Farnham, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
FD60 openings in Farnham buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Farnham 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
Which fire door rules apply in Farnham?
England's framework applies in Farnham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. 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.
For blocks over 11 metres in Farnham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you cover GU9 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Farnham including GU9, and nearby towns such as Aldershot and Fleet. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Farnham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Are FD60 doors harder to open?
They are heavier, so the closer has to be chosen and adjusted with care. A well-set closer will still close and latch the door while keeping the opening force reasonable for the people who use it.
