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.

On a typical job that means:

• Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
• FD30S composite doorset made to measure
• Advice on certified composite products and options
• Certificate reference and photo record

Fire door law for Billericay properties

In Billericay, 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 Billericay 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.

From purpose-built blocks of flats to housing association estates, the requirement for composite fire doors in Billericay comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
