Composite fire doors: our service in Tewkesbury
We provide composite fire doors in Tewkesbury (GL20 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Tewkesbury protect escape routes in small offices, family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We only fit composite doors in Tewkesbury in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Tewkesbury they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
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.
Each installation includes:
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
Which fire door rules apply in Tewkesbury?
Fire doors in Tewkesbury fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Tewkesbury above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Is Tewkesbury within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire and neighbouring towns such as Cheltenham. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Tewkesbury building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Can composite fire doors face the weather?
Some are designed for external use on deck-access blocks. The product must be certified for that use and fitted with the right threshold and weather detailing.
