Composite fire doors in Wokingham, done to the evidence
When you book composite fire doors in Wokingham, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Wokingham, small blocks of flats, family homes after loft conversions and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
For deck-access blocks in and around Wokingham, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Wokingham in configurations covered by the product's certification.
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:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Advice on certified composite products and options
Which fire door rules apply in Wokingham?
England's framework applies in Wokingham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Wokingham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Yes. We cover Wokingham including RG40, and nearby towns such as Crowthorne and Bracknell. The survey and written quote are free.

We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
