FD60 fire doors in Halifax

FD60 fire doors for Halifax buildings

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Halifax, we offer FD60 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Fire doors in Halifax protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, industrial estates and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Halifax building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Halifax we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.

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.

On a typical job that means:

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

The regulations behind fire doors in Halifax

The rules that apply to fire doors in Halifax 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 Halifax 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.
