Composite fire doors in Fulham, done to the evidence
When you book composite fire doors in Fulham, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fulham has a broad mix of buildings, including student accommodation, converted flats and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For deck-access blocks in and around Fulham, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Fulham in configurations covered by the product's certification.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Advice on certified composite products and options

Questions from Fulham
Do you cover SW6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Fulham including SW6, and nearby towns such as Chelsea and Putney. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Are composite fire doors as good as timber ones?
Both can perform well when they are certified and installed correctly. Composite doors offer low maintenance and colour choice; timber doorsets offer more flexibility on sizes and finishes. The certification and installation matter more than the material.
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.
