Composite fire door installation in Portishead

Composite fire doors: our service in Portishead

When you book composite fire doors in Portishead, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Fire doors in Portishead protect escape routes in schools, small offices and care homes 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 Portishead they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Portishead 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:

• Certificate reference and photo record
• Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
• Advice on certified composite products and options
• FD30S composite doorset made to measure
