Composite fire doors for Aldershot buildings
Our composite fire doors service covers Aldershot and the wider Hampshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Aldershot, small offices, care homes and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We only fit composite doors in Aldershot in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Aldershot they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
Where do composite fire doors make sense?
Composite doorsets are widely used as flat entrance doors, both inside corridors and on external deck-access walkways where the door faces the weather. Their factory finish avoids repainting, which matters because paint build-up is a common reason seals stop working. Many products also offer security features alongside the fire rating.
On a typical job that means:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Certificate reference and photo record
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
What the rules say for Aldershot
England's framework applies in Aldershot. 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.
For blocks over 11 metres in Aldershot, 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.

Common questions
Do you cover GU11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Aldershot including GU11, and nearby towns such as Farnham and Farnborough. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Aldershot building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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 I add a letterbox to a composite fire door?
Only if the letterplate is part of the certified doorset. Cutting one in afterwards would compromise the door's fire performance.
