FD60 fire doors for Horley buildings
We provide FD60 fire doors in Horley (RH6 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Horley, small blocks of flats, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions 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.
For FD60 work in Horley we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Horley buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.
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:
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
Rules and responsibilities in Horley
In Horley, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Horley building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions from Horley
Do you work in Horley?
Yes, we take on FD60 fire doors in Horley and the surrounding area, including Crawley and Redhill. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Horley?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Do FD60 doors need smoke seals?
If the fire strategy asks for smoke control, yes: the door will be specified as FD60S or E60Sa with smoke seals. Many plant room doors are FD60 without a smoke requirement.
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.
