FD60 fire doors: our service in Bognor Regis
We provide FD60 fire doors in Bognor Regis (PO21 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Bognor Regis range from low-rise blocks of flats to HMOs and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Before ordering FD60 doors for a Bognor Regis building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Bognor Regis we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
Fire door law for Bognor Regis properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bognor Regis 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 Bognor Regis 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.

Common questions
Do you cover PO21 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Bognor Regis including PO21, and nearby towns such as Chichester and Littlehampton. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Bognor Regis?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
