Composite fire doors in Borehamwood

Composite fire doors for Borehamwood buildings

From the WD6 postcode district outwards, we take on composite fire doors across Borehamwood for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Buildings in and around Borehamwood range from houses with integral garages to schools and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Borehamwood they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Borehamwood, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• FD30S composite doorset made to measure
• Advice on certified composite products and options
• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence

Rules and responsibilities in Borehamwood

In Borehamwood, 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 Borehamwood 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.
