Composite fire doors for Clevedon buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Clevedon, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Clevedon has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, schools and light industrial buildings, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Clevedon they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Clevedon in configurations covered by the product's certification.
What to check before you buy
Composite doors vary widely. The certification must cover the whole doorset as supplied: the core, skin, frame, glazing, letterplate, viewer and every item of hardware. Ask to see the certificate and the installation instructions, and check that the door's configuration, such as a side panel or glazed panel, is actually covered. BS 8214:2026 now includes maintenance guidance for composite and metal doors, reflecting how common they have become.
As standard, the work covers:
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Advice on certified composite products and options
The regulations behind fire doors in Clevedon
Fire doors in Clevedon fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Clevedon above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Do you work in Clevedon?
Yes, we take on composite fire doors in Clevedon and the surrounding area, including Nailsea and Portishead. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
