What composite fire doors in Castleford should include
If you need composite fire doors in Castleford, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Castleford has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, care homes and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For deck-access blocks in and around Castleford, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Castleford 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.
What you get:
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
Fire door law for Castleford properties
Fire doors in Castleford 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 Castleford 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 cover WF10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Castleford including WF10, and nearby towns such as Pontefract and Lofthouse. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Castleford?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
