Composite fire doors for Crewe buildings
Our composite fire doors service in Crewe is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Crewe range from schools to care homes and industrial estates. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For deck-access blocks in and around Crewe, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Crewe 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.
What you get:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
Fire door law for Crewe properties
In Crewe, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Crewe building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Yes. We cover Crewe including CW1, and nearby towns such as Winsford and Kidsgrove. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Crewe building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do composite fire doors need a closer?
Yes, as flat entrance doors they need a self-closing device that closes and latches them. This can be overhead or concealed, depending on the certified options.
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.
