For deck-access blocks in and around Tamworth, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Tamworth 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.
Each installation includes:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals

Questions
Do you cover B77 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Tamworth including B77, and nearby towns such as Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield. The survey and written quote are free.
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 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.
