Composite fire doors in Haywards Heath: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Haywards Heath, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Haywards Heath has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, schools and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Haywards Heath they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Haywards Heath 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:
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Advice on certified composite products and options
Rules and responsibilities in Haywards Heath
The rules that apply to fire doors in Haywards Heath 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 Haywards Heath 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
Is Haywards Heath within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Haywards Heath in West Sussex and neighbouring towns such as Burgess Hill. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Haywards Heath?
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.
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.
