Composite fire doors: our service in Greenock
When you book composite fire doors in Greenock, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Greenock has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Greenock they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Greenock, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
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:
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
What the rules say for Greenock
In Greenock, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.

Questions
Do you cover PA15 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Greenock including PA15, and nearby towns such as Vale of Leven and Clydebank. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Greenock 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 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.
