FD60 fire doors: our service in Worcester
From the WR1 postcode district outwards, we take on FD60 fire doors across Worcester for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Worcester, GP surgeries, schools and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
FD60 openings in Worcester buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Worcester 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.
What you get:
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
Fire door law for Worcester properties
England's framework applies in Worcester. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Worcester, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions from Worcester
Do you work in Worcester?
Yes, we take on FD60 fire doors in Worcester and the surrounding area, including Droitwich and Great Malvern. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Worcester 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.
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.
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.
