Composite fire doors for Egham buildings
Our composite fire doors service in Egham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Egham range from houses with integral garages to small offices and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For deck-access blocks in and around Egham, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Egham 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
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
What the rules say for Egham
In Egham, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Egham building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Egham
Do you work in Egham?
Yes, we take on composite fire doors in Egham and the surrounding area, including Staines and Ashford (Surrey). Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Egham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
