Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Reigate they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Reigate 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
The regulations behind fire doors in Reigate
The rules that apply to fire doors in Reigate 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 Reigate 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.

Questions
Do you work in Reigate?
Yes, we take on composite fire doors in Reigate and the surrounding area, including Redhill and Horley. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Reigate building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
