Composite fire doors in Basingstoke, RG21

What composite fire doors in Basingstoke should include

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Basingstoke, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Around Basingstoke, industrial units, care homes and HMOs 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.

For deck-access blocks in and around Basingstoke, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Basingstoke 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Advice on certified composite products and options
• Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
• Certificate reference and photo record
• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals

The regulations behind fire doors in Basingstoke

Fire doors in Basingstoke fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Basingstoke above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. 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.
