Composite fire doors in Bognor Regis, done to the evidence
We provide composite fire doors in Bognor Regis (PO21 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Bognor Regis protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, schools and industrial estates alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Bognor Regis they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Bognor Regis, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
What to check before you buy
Composite doors vary widely. The certification must cover the whole doorset as supplied: the core, skin, frame, glazing, letterplate, viewer and every item of hardware. Ask to see the certificate and the installation instructions, and check that the door's configuration, such as a side panel or glazed panel, is actually covered. BS 8214:2026 now includes maintenance guidance for composite and metal doors, reflecting how common they have become.
Each installation includes:
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
Fire door law for Bognor Regis properties
Fire doors in Bognor Regis 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 Bognor Regis 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 Bognor Regis?
Yes, we take on composite fire doors in Bognor Regis and the surrounding area, including Chichester and Littlehampton. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Bognor Regis?
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.
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.
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.
