FD60 fire door installation in Sunbury-on-Thames

FD60 fire doors in Sunbury-on-Thames, done to the evidence

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Sunbury-on-Thames, we offer FD60 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Sunbury-on-Thames has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, small blocks of flats and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

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

Why FD60 installation is less forgiving

A 54mm leaf can weigh considerably more than a 44mm one. That weight drives everything else: more robust frames and fixings, hinges rated for the load, and a closer with enough power to close and latch the door without making it too heavy to open. Glazing, if any, must use a 60-minute glass and glazing system from the same test evidence.

Because of this, most FD60 openings are best done as a certified doorset, so the frame and leaf come with matching evidence.

What you get:

• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

Rules and responsibilities in Sunbury-on-Thames

In Sunbury-on-Thames, 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 Sunbury-on-Thames 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.
