Getting FD60 fire doors fitted in County Durham
Across County Durham we handle FD60 fire doors for single doors and whole-building programmes alike — survey, fixed quote, certified doorsets and careful installation.
Which rules apply in County Durham?
In County Durham, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.
What do FD60 fire doors cost in County Durham?
Budget around £1,050 to £1,650 per single doorset for FD60 fire doors supplied and fitted in County Durham, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.

Which rules apply in County Durham?
Doors are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Do FD60 doors need different closers?
Often a stronger closer, sized to the heavier leaf, still keeping opening forces within Approved Document M limits where accessibility applies.
