Composite fire doors in Dewsbury

Getting composite fire doors right in Dewsbury

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Dewsbury, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

In and around Dewsbury, fire door work covers everything from HMOs to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

For deck-access blocks in and around Dewsbury, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Dewsbury 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:

• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
• Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
• Advice on certified composite products and options

Fire door law for Dewsbury properties

England's framework applies in Dewsbury. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Dewsbury, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
