Composite fire doors in Muswell Hill

Getting composite fire doors right in Muswell Hill

Our composite fire doors service covers Muswell Hill and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Around Muswell Hill, schools, student accommodation 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.

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

On a typical job that means:

• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
• Advice on certified composite products and options
• FD30S composite doorset made to measure
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
