Composite fire doors in Coventry, done to the evidence
Looking for composite fire doors in Coventry? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Coventry and the wider West Midlands area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Coventry, schools, shared houses and purpose-built blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Coventry they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Coventry 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Certificate reference and photo record
Fire door law for Coventry properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Coventry 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 Coventry 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 from Coventry
Do you cover CV1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Coventry including CV1, and nearby towns such as Kenilworth and Bedworth. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
