Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Craigavon they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Craigavon 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.
Each installation includes:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals

What happens on a survey in Craigavon?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
