Composite fire doors: our service in Brighouse
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Brighouse, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Brighouse, fire door work covers everything from schools to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Brighouse they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Brighouse 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
Fire door law for Brighouse properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Brighouse 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 Brighouse 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 Brighouse
Is Brighouse within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Brighouse in West Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Halifax. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Brighouse 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 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.
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.
