FD60 fire doors in Pudsey

Getting FD60 fire doors right in Pudsey

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

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

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

• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening

Fire door law for Pudsey properties

In Pudsey, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.

Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Pudsey building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
