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.
What you get:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals

Common questions
Is Rhondda within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Rhondda in Mid Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Tonypandy. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Rhondda 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.
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.
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.
