We only fit composite doors in Kingston upon Hull in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Kingston upon Hull they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Certificate reference and photo record
