Composite fire doors in Harpenden

Composite fire doors: our service in Harpenden

If you need composite fire doors in Harpenden, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Buildings in and around Harpenden range from schools to family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

For deck-access blocks in and around Harpenden, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Harpenden 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.

Each installation includes:

• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
• Certificate reference and photo record
• Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
• Advice on certified composite products and options

The regulations behind fire doors in Harpenden

England's framework applies in Harpenden. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Harpenden, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Which buildings in Harpenden need composite fire doors?
