Composite fire doors in Bridgwater, done to the evidence
We provide composite fire doors in Bridgwater (TA6 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Bridgwater protect escape routes in schools, houses with integral garages and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Bridgwater they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Bridgwater, 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals

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.
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.
