Composite fire doors in Cricklewood, done to the evidence
If you need composite fire doors in Cricklewood, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Cricklewood, shared houses, converted flats and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We only fit composite doors in Cricklewood in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Cricklewood 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
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Certificate reference and photo record
