Composite fire doors for New Malden buildings
Our composite fire doors service covers New Malden 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.
Fire doors in New Malden protect escape routes in student accommodation, hotels and restaurants alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For deck-access blocks in and around New Malden, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in New Malden in configurations covered by the product's certification.
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:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors

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.

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.
