Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Cirencester they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Cirencester in configurations covered by the product's certification.
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:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
The regulations behind fire doors in Cirencester
The rules that apply to fire doors in Cirencester are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Cirencester block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Cirencester

How quickly can you survey in Cirencester?

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.
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.
