Composite fire doors: our service in Wellington
When you book composite fire doors in Wellington, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Wellington, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Wellington they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Wellington, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Certificate reference and photo record
Rules and responsibilities in Wellington
England's framework applies in Wellington. 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 Wellington, 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.
Do composite fire doors need a closer?
Yes, as flat entrance doors they need a self-closing device that closes and latches them. This can be overhead or concealed, depending on the certified options.
