What composite fire doors in Streatham should include
If you need composite fire doors in Streatham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Streatham, fire door work covers everything from mixed-use office buildings to clinics. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For deck-access blocks in and around Streatham, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Streatham 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:
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Advice on certified composite products and options
Fire door law for Streatham properties
England's framework applies in Streatham. 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 Streatham sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Streatham, 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.

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.
