What FD60 fire doors in Evesham should include
Our FD60 fire doors service covers Evesham and the wider Worcestershire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Evesham range from light industrial buildings to family homes after loft conversions and small offices. 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 Evesham buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in Evesham 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed

Common questions
Is Evesham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Evesham in Worcestershire and neighbouring towns such as Tewkesbury. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
Are FD60 doors harder to open?
They are heavier, so the closer has to be chosen and adjusted with care. A well-set closer will still close and latch the door while keeping the opening force reasonable for the people who use it.
