Our Chelmsford supply and fit service
If your fire risk assessment in Chelmsford has flagged doors to replace, we can schedule, quote and fit FD60 doorsets for compartment walls, cores and plant rooms to match its recommendations. Surveys in CM1 are free and quotes are fixed and itemised.
Where possible we combine Chelmsford surveys with other visits in Essex, such as Billericay and Witham, which helps keep survey dates flexible.

Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.

FD60 fire doors in Chelmsford: questions
How quickly can you survey in Chelmsford?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Chelmsford visits with other work in Essex. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Chelmsford?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Chelmsford?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
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.
