FD60 fire doors in East Grinstead

FD60 fire doors: our service in East Grinstead

We provide FD60 fire doors in East Grinstead (RH19 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Fire doors in East Grinstead protect escape routes in schools, houses with integral garages and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

FD60 openings in East Grinstead buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a East Grinstead building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos

Rules and responsibilities in East Grinstead

In East Grinstead, 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 East Grinstead 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.
