FD60 fire doors in Batley

FD60 fire doors in Batley, done to the evidence

We provide FD60 fire doors in Batley (WF13 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

In and around Batley, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

FD60 openings in Batley buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Batley 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:

• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
