What composite fire doors in Hanworth should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hanworth, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Hanworth, fire door work covers everything from mixed-use office buildings to clinics. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Hanworth they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Hanworth 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
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Certificate reference and photo record
Rules and responsibilities in Hanworth
In Hanworth, 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Hanworth sits with the London Fire Brigade.
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 Hanworth 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.

Questions from Hanworth
Do you cover TW13 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hanworth including TW13, and nearby towns such as Hampton and Feltham. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Hanworth building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
