Composite fire doors in Ewell, done to the evidence
If you need composite fire doors in Ewell, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Ewell range from schools to care homes and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Ewell they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Ewell 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:
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
The regulations behind fire doors in Ewell
The rules that apply to fire doors in Ewell are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Ewell block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

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.
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.
