Composite fire doors in Exmouth, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Exmouth, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Exmouth, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Exmouth they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Exmouth 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
The regulations behind fire doors in Exmouth
In Exmouth, 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 Exmouth 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.

Questions
Do you work in Exmouth?
Yes, we take on composite fire doors in Exmouth and the surrounding area, including Heavitree and Exeter. 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 Exmouth 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.
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.
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.
