Composite fire doors for Bordon buildings
Our composite fire doors service in Bordon is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Bordon, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Bordon they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Bordon in configurations covered by the product's certification.
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.
What you get:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
Which fire door rules apply in Bordon?
In Bordon, 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.
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 Bordon 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.
Which buildings in Bordon need composite fire doors?
Typical settings for composite fire doors include converted flats, deck-access blocks and housing association estates. In Bordon, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Common questions
Do you cover GU35 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Bordon including GU35, and nearby towns such as Farnham and Aldershot. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Bordon 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.
Are composite fire doors as good as timber ones?
Both can perform well when they are certified and installed correctly. Composite doors offer low maintenance and colour choice; timber doorsets offer more flexibility on sizes and finishes. The certification and installation matter more than the material.
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.
