FD60 fire doors in Wednesfield

FD60 fire doors: our service in Wednesfield

When you book FD60 fire doors in Wednesfield, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Wednesfield has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

For FD60 work in Wednesfield we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Wednesfield 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

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