Composite fire doors for West Bromwich buildings
Our composite fire doors service covers West Bromwich and the wider West Midlands area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in West Bromwich protect escape routes in converted period houses, industrial units and offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We only fit composite doors in West Bromwich in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in West Bromwich they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
Where do composite fire doors make sense?
Composite doorsets are widely used as flat entrance doors, both inside corridors and on external deck-access walkways where the door faces the weather. Their factory finish avoids repainting, which matters because paint build-up is a common reason seals stop working. Many products also offer security features alongside the fire rating.
As standard, the work covers:
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Certificate reference and photo record
The regulations behind fire doors in West Bromwich
The rules that apply to fire doors in West Bromwich 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 West Bromwich 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.

Common questions
Is West Bromwich within your coverage area?
It is. We cover West Bromwich in West Midlands and neighbouring towns such as Smethwick. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in West Bromwich?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
