FD60 fire doors in Warwickshire, done to the evidence
Whether your building is in Nuneaton, Rugby or a smaller place in Warwickshire, we can provide FD60 fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
FD60 openings in Warwickshire buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Warwickshire we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.
Wherever your building is in Warwickshire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Warwickshire
In Warwickshire, 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 Warwickshire 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.

FD60 fire doors questions
Do you provide FD60 fire doors across Warwickshire?
Yes. We cover all of Warwickshire, including Nuneaton and Rugby. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
Can I upgrade an FD30 door to FD60?
Not by adding parts. An FD30 leaf cannot be turned into an FD60 door with extra strips or paint. If an opening needs 60 minutes, the leaf, and usually the frame, need to be replaced with a certified FD60 product.
