FD60 fire doors in Huddersfield, done to the evidence
From the HD1 postcode district outwards, we take on FD60 fire doors across Huddersfield for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Huddersfield, fire door work covers everything from care homes to purpose-built flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
FD60 openings in Huddersfield buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Huddersfield 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
Fire door law for Huddersfield properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Huddersfield 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 Huddersfield 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.

Common questions
Do you cover HD1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Huddersfield including HD1, and nearby towns such as Brighouse and Halifax. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Huddersfield building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do FD60 doors need smoke seals?
If the fire strategy asks for smoke control, yes: the door will be specified as FD60S or E60Sa with smoke seals. Many plant room doors are FD60 without a smoke requirement.
Is FD60 just a thicker FD30?
No. FD60 doors are built and tested as a different product, usually with a thicker core, different seals and different ironmongery. Only the tested combination carries the 60-minute rating.
