Composite fire doors: our service in Merseyside
Whether your building is in Liverpool, Birkenhead or a smaller place in Merseyside, we can provide composite fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Merseyside they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Merseyside in configurations covered by the product's certification.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Merseyside can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Merseyside?
Fire doors in Merseyside fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Merseyside above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Composite fire doors questions
Do you provide composite fire doors across Merseyside?
Yes. We cover all of Merseyside, including Liverpool and Birkenhead. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
