FD60 fire doors for Neath buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Neath, we offer FD60 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Neath protect escape routes in care homes, houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For FD60 work in Neath we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Neath buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.
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:
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
Fire door law for Neath properties
Neath is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Common questions
Do you work in Neath?
Yes, we take on FD60 fire doors in Neath and the surrounding area, including Briton Ferry and Swansea. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Neath building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
