Composite fire doors for Sevenoaks buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Sevenoaks, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Sevenoaks has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, care homes and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Sevenoaks they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Sevenoaks, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
Where do composite fire doors make sense?
Composite doorsets are widely used as flat entrance doors, both inside corridors and on external deck-access walkways where the door faces the weather. Their factory finish avoids repainting, which matters because paint build-up is a common reason seals stop working. Many products also offer security features alongside the fire rating.
As standard, the work covers:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
What the rules say for Sevenoaks
The rules that apply to fire doors in Sevenoaks are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Sevenoaks block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Do you cover TN13 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Sevenoaks including TN13, and nearby towns such as Tonbridge and Swanley. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Sevenoaks 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.
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.
Do composite fire doors need a closer?
Yes, as flat entrance doors they need a self-closing device that closes and latches them. This can be overhead or concealed, depending on the certified options.
