In and around Newbury, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For deck-access blocks in and around Newbury, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Newbury in configurations covered by the product's certification.
How we fit composite doorsets
Composite doorsets are installed strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically set out fixing positions, packing, the sealing of the frame-to-wall gap and threshold details. We set the closer so that it closes and latches the door, test the locks and record everything for your files. Where a resident or freeholder chooses colours, we make sure the chosen option is within the certified range.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure

Questions
Is Newbury within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Newbury in Berkshire and neighbouring towns such as Thatcham. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Newbury?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
Can composite fire doors face the weather?
Some are designed for external use on deck-access blocks. The product must be certified for that use and fitted with the right threshold and weather detailing.
