What composite fire doors in Scunthorpe should include
We provide composite fire doors in Scunthorpe (DN16 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Scunthorpe range from industrial estates to houses with integral garages and care homes. 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 Scunthorpe they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Scunthorpe, 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.
What you get:
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors

Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Is Scunthorpe within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Scunthorpe in Lincolnshire and neighbouring towns such as Goole. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Scunthorpe?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
