Composite fire doors in Middleton, M24

Composite fire doors in Middleton, done to the evidence

From the M24 postcode district outwards, we take on composite fire doors across Middleton for homes, blocks and workplaces.

In and around Middleton, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

We only fit composite doors in Middleton in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Middleton they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.

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
• Advice on certified composite products and options
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
• Certificate reference and photo record

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
