Composite fire doors in Truro, done to the evidence
Our composite fire doors service in Truro is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Truro protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, family homes after loft conversions and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For deck-access blocks in and around Truro, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Truro in configurations covered by the product's certification.
Where do composite fire doors make sense?
Composite doorsets are widely used as flat entrance doors, both inside corridors and on external deck-access walkways where the door faces the weather. Their factory finish avoids repainting, which matters because paint build-up is a common reason seals stop working. Many products also offer security features alongside the fire rating.
Each installation includes:
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Certificate reference and photo record
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
Which fire door rules apply in Truro?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Truro are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Truro block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Do you work in Truro?
Yes, we take on composite fire doors in Truro and the surrounding area, including Falmouth and Redruth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Truro 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.
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.
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.
