Composite fire doors in Leytonstone, done to the evidence

Our composite fire doors service in Leytonstone is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

In and around Leytonstone, fire door work covers everything from schools to converted flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Leytonstone they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Leytonstone 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.

What you get:

• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
• Certificate reference and photo record
• Advice on certified composite products and options

Fire door law for Leytonstone properties

England's framework applies in Leytonstone. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

For blocks over 11 metres in Leytonstone, 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.
