Composite fire doors in Aylesbury

Getting composite fire doors right in Aylesbury

If you need composite fire doors in Aylesbury, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

In and around Aylesbury, fire door work covers everything from care homes to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Aylesbury they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Aylesbury, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
• Certificate reference and photo record
• Advice on certified composite products and options
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
