Composite fire doors for Boston buildings
Looking for composite fire doors in Boston? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Boston and the wider Lincolnshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Boston, fire door work covers everything from schools to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We only fit composite doors in Boston in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Boston 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Certificate reference and photo record
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
What the rules say for Boston
The rules that apply to fire doors in Boston 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 Boston 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 PE21 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Boston including PE21, and nearby towns such as Spalding and Skegness. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Boston 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.
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.
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.
