Composite fire doors for Hampton buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hampton, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Hampton has a broad mix of buildings, including shared houses, student accommodation and mixed-use office buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We only fit composite doors in Hampton in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Hampton 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Certificate reference and photo record
What the rules say for Hampton
England's framework applies in Hampton. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. Enforcement of fire safety law in Hampton sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Hampton, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you cover TW12 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hampton including TW12, and nearby towns such as Hanworth and Sunbury-on-Thames. 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.
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.
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.
