Composite fire doors for Aberdeen buildings
Our composite fire doors service in Aberdeen is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Aberdeen protect escape routes in offices, GP surgeries and industrial units alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We only fit composite doors in Aberdeen in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Aberdeen they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
What to check before you buy
Composite doors vary widely. The certification must cover the whole doorset as supplied: the core, skin, frame, glazing, letterplate, viewer and every item of hardware. Ask to see the certificate and the installation instructions, and check that the door's configuration, such as a side panel or glazed panel, is actually covered. BS 8214:2026 now includes maintenance guidance for composite and metal doors, reflecting how common they have become.
What you get:
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
Which fire door rules apply in Aberdeen?
In Aberdeen, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.

Common questions
Do you cover AB11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Aberdeen including AB11, and nearby towns such as Arbroath and Dundee. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can I add a letterbox to a composite fire door?
Only if the letterplate is part of the certified doorset. Cutting one in afterwards would compromise the door's fire performance.
Are composite fire doors as good as timber ones?
Both can perform well when they are certified and installed correctly. Composite doors offer low maintenance and colour choice; timber doorsets offer more flexibility on sizes and finishes. The certification and installation matter more than the material.
