FD60 fire doors in Haywards Heath

Getting FD60 fire doors right in Haywards Heath

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

Fire doors in Haywards Heath protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, light industrial buildings and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

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

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.

What you get:

• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified

Rules and responsibilities in Haywards Heath

In Haywards Heath, 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 Haywards Heath 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.
