FD60 fire door installation in Stratford-upon-Avon

FD60 fire doors for Stratford-upon-Avon buildings

Looking for FD60 fire doors in Stratford-upon-Avon? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Stratford-upon-Avon and the wider Warwickshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

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

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
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

England's framework applies in Stratford-upon-Avon. 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.

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
