Composite fire doors: our service in Crowborough
When you book composite fire doors in Crowborough, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Crowborough, fire door work covers everything from schools to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We only fit composite doors in Crowborough in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Crowborough they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
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.
What you get:
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
What the rules say for Crowborough
England's framework applies in Crowborough. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Crowborough, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions
Is Crowborough within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Crowborough in East Sussex and neighbouring towns such as Royal Tunbridge Wells. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Crowborough 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.
