Composite fire doors in Rugby, done to the evidence
Our composite fire doors service in Rugby is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Rugby protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, HMOs and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We only fit composite doors in Rugby in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Rugby they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
Which fire door rules apply in Rugby?
Fire doors in Rugby fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Rugby above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Common questions
Do you work in Rugby?
Yes, we take on composite fire doors in Rugby and the surrounding area, including Daventry and Coventry. 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 Rugby 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 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.
