Composite fire doors: our service in Havant
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Havant, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Havant, small offices, houses with integral garages and light industrial buildings 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.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Havant they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Havant 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.
What you get:
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
Which fire door rules apply in Havant?
In Havant, 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 Havant 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Havant
Typical settings for composite fire doors include purpose-built blocks of flats, converted flats and deck-access blocks. In Havant, 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.

Some are designed for external use on deck-access blocks. The product must be certified for that use and fitted with the right threshold and weather detailing.
