Composite fire doors: our service in Sutton in Ashfield
We provide composite fire doors in Sutton in Ashfield (NG17 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

We only fit composite doors in Sutton in Ashfield in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Sutton in Ashfield they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
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.
Each installation includes:
- 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

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 composite fire doors face the weather?
Some are designed for external use on deck-access blocks. The product must be certified for that use and fitted with the right threshold and weather detailing.
