Composite fire doors in Bootle, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Bootle, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Bootle range from houses with integral garages to care homes and industrial estates. 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 Bootle they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Bootle 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
Which fire door rules apply in Bootle?
England's framework applies in Bootle. 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 Bootle, 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.
