Composite fire doors in Gerrards Cross

Composite fire doors for Gerrards Cross buildings

Our composite fire doors service covers Gerrards Cross and the wider Buckinghamshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Buildings in and around Gerrards Cross range from family homes after loft conversions to light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

We only fit composite doors in Gerrards Cross in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Gerrards Cross 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.

Each installation includes:

• Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
• FD30S composite doorset made to measure
