Composite fire doors in Waterlooville

What composite fire doors in Waterlooville should include

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

In and around Waterlooville, fire door work covers everything from schools to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Waterlooville they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Waterlooville 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Advice on certified composite products and options
• Certificate reference and photo record
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
