FD60 fire doors in West Yorkshire, done to the evidence
We provide FD60 fire doors across West Yorkshire, covering 19 towns and 84 postcode districts, including Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield.
For FD60 work in West Yorkshire we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in West Yorkshire buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.
Fire door work in West Yorkshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in West Yorkshire?
The rules that apply to fire doors in West Yorkshire 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 West Yorkshire 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.

Questions
Do you provide FD60 fire doors across West Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover all of West Yorkshire, including Leeds and Bradford. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can I upgrade an FD30 door to FD60?
Not by adding parts. An FD30 leaf cannot be turned into an FD60 door with extra strips or paint. If an opening needs 60 minutes, the leaf, and usually the frame, need to be replaced with a certified FD60 product.
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.
