Composite fire doors in Redruth, done to the evidence
Our composite fire doors service covers Redruth and the wider Cornwall area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Redruth has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, family homes after loft conversions and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Redruth they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Redruth 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
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals

Common questions
Do you work in Redruth?
Yes, we take on composite fire doors in Redruth and the surrounding area, including Camborne and Truro. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
