Certified FD60 fire doors for Whitstable
We fit FD60 doorsets for compartment walls, cores and plant rooms in Whitstable and the rest of Kent. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Where possible we combine Whitstable surveys with other visits in Kent, such as Herne Bay and Canterbury, which helps keep survey dates flexible.

FD60 fire doors in Whitstable: questions
How quickly can you survey in Whitstable?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Whitstable visits with other work in Kent. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
What does a Whitstable quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Whitstable?
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.
Can I use an FD60 door where FD30 is required?
Yes — a higher rating meets a lower requirement — but it is heavier and dearer, so we only recommend it where the location calls for it or you want a margin.
