Composite fire doors across Hampshire

Composite fire doors in Hampshire, done to the evidence

For composite fire doors anywhere in Hampshire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke and the rest of the county.

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

Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Hampshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.

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.

The regulations behind fire doors in Hampshire

The rules that apply to fire doors in Hampshire are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Hampshire block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
