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.
What you get:
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors

Questions from Bexley
Is Bexley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bexley in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Welling. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Bexley?
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.
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.
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.
