Where do composite fire doors make sense?
Composite doorsets are widely used as flat entrance doors, both inside corridors and on external deck-access walkways where the door faces the weather. Their factory finish avoids repainting, which matters because paint build-up is a common reason seals stop working. Many products also offer security features alongside the fire rating.
What you get:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
The regulations behind fire doors in Pudsey
England's framework applies in Pudsey. 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 Pudsey, 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.

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.
