Composite fire doors in Staffordshire, done to the evidence
Our composite fire doors service runs throughout Staffordshire. Main towns include Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Burton upon Trent, and we cover the smaller places in between.
For deck-access blocks in and around Staffordshire, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Staffordshire they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
Staffordshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Staffordshire
England's framework applies in Staffordshire. 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 Staffordshire, 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.

Questions
Do you provide composite fire doors across Staffordshire?
Yes. We cover all of Staffordshire, including Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
