Composite fire doors: our service in Bexhill-on-Sea
We provide composite fire doors in Bexhill-on-Sea (TN40 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Bexhill-on-Sea protect escape routes in care homes, houses with integral garages and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Bexhill-on-Sea they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Bexhill-on-Sea, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
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.
What you get:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
The regulations behind fire doors in Bexhill-on-Sea
In Bexhill-on-Sea, 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 Bexhill-on-Sea 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.
