FD60 fire door installation in Brighouse

FD60 fire doors in Brighouse: what's involved

Our FD60 fire doors service in Brighouse is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Buildings in and around Brighouse range from small blocks of flats to small offices 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.

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

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed

The regulations behind fire doors in Brighouse

Fire doors in Brighouse fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Brighouse above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Buildings and duty holders in Brighouse

Typical settings for FD60 fire doors include stair cores in taller blocks, plant and boiler rooms and mixed-use commercial buildings. In Brighouse, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
