FD60 fire doors in Nelson: how we work
We fit FD60 doorsets for compartment walls, cores and plant rooms in Nelson and the rest of Lancashire. 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.
Whether your building is in central Nelson or on its edges towards Colne, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
What the law says in Nelson
Fire doors in Nelson sit under English rules: Approved Document B sets what goes in, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers keeping doors effective in non-domestic premises and shared parts of residential buildings, and the 2022 regulations require regular door checks in residential buildings taller than 11 metres. Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.
