Getting composite fire doors right in Worksop
Our composite fire doors service covers Worksop and the wider Nottinghamshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Worksop protect escape routes in small offices, care homes and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For deck-access blocks in and around Worksop, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Worksop 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.
What you get:
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Advice on certified composite products and options
The regulations behind fire doors in Worksop
England's framework applies in Worksop. 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 Worksop, 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.

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.
