What composite fire doors in Kingswood should include
Looking for composite fire doors in Kingswood? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Kingswood and the wider Gloucestershire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Kingswood range from light industrial buildings to family homes after loft conversions and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We only fit composite doors in Kingswood in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Kingswood they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors

Questions
Is Kingswood within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Kingswood in Gloucestershire and neighbouring towns such as Mangotsfield. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Kingswood?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
