Composite fire doors for Barnet buildings
Our composite fire doors service covers Barnet and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Barnet, fire door work covers everything from hotels to mixed-use office buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We only fit composite doors in Barnet in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Barnet 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.
What you get:
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
Fire door law for Barnet properties
In Barnet, 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
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 Barnet 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.

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 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.
