Composite fire doors in Cheshunt, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Cheshunt, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Cheshunt range from care homes to schools and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We only fit composite doors in Cheshunt in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Cheshunt they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certificate reference and photo record
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence

Questions from Cheshunt
Do you work in Cheshunt?
Yes, we take on composite fire doors in Cheshunt and the surrounding area, including Waltham Abbey and Enfield Town. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cheshunt 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.
Can I add a letterbox to a composite fire door?
Only if the letterplate is part of the certified doorset. Cutting one in afterwards would compromise the door's fire performance.
