FD60 fire doors in Chippenham: what's involved

If you need FD60 fire doors in Chippenham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

In and around Chippenham, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

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

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.

What you get:

• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
