FD60 fire doors in Hebburn, NE31

FD60 fire doors: our service in Hebburn

Looking for FD60 fire doors in Hebburn? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Hebburn and the wider Tyne and Wear area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Buildings in and around Hebburn range from care homes to family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

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

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.

What you get:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified

Rules and responsibilities in Hebburn

The rules that apply to fire doors in Hebburn are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Hebburn block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
