Composite fire doors in Nuneaton, done to the evidence
We provide composite fire doors in Nuneaton (CV11 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Nuneaton range from family homes after loft conversions to high-street shops and industrial estates. 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 Nuneaton they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Nuneaton, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
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
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Certificate reference and photo record

The rules that apply to fire doors in Nuneaton 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.

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 Nuneaton?
Yes, we take on composite fire doors in Nuneaton and the surrounding area, including Bedworth and Hinckley. 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 Nuneaton 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.
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.
