What composite fire doors in Wallington should include
If you need composite fire doors in Wallington, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Wallington has a broad mix of buildings, including hotels, student accommodation and converted flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For deck-access blocks in and around Wallington, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Wallington 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.
Each installation includes:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
Which fire door rules apply in Wallington?
In Wallington, 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 Wallington 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 Wallington 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.

Common questions
Do you cover SM6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wallington including SM6, and nearby towns such as Carshalton and Sutton. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
