What composite fire doors in Stroud should include
From the GL6 postcode district outwards, we take on composite fire doors across Stroud for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Stroud range from high-street shops to low-rise blocks of flats and HMOs. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For deck-access blocks in and around Stroud, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Stroud 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Certificate reference and photo record
The regulations behind fire doors in Stroud
In Stroud, 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 Stroud 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.

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.
