Composite fire doors for Mangotsfield buildings
Looking for composite fire doors in Mangotsfield? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Mangotsfield and the wider Gloucestershire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Mangotsfield protect escape routes in small offices, care homes and small blocks of flats 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 Mangotsfield they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Mangotsfield, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
What to check before you buy
Composite doors vary widely. The certification must cover the whole doorset as supplied: the core, skin, frame, glazing, letterplate, viewer and every item of hardware. Ask to see the certificate and the installation instructions, and check that the door's configuration, such as a side panel or glazed panel, is actually covered. BS 8214:2026 now includes maintenance guidance for composite and metal doors, reflecting how common they have become.
As standard, the work covers:
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
Fire door law for Mangotsfield properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Mangotsfield 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 Mangotsfield 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.

Are composite fire doors as good as timber ones?
Both can perform well when they are certified and installed correctly. Composite doors offer low maintenance and colour choice; timber doorsets offer more flexibility on sizes and finishes. The certification and installation matter more than the material.
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.
