Composite fire doors in Wakefield, WF1

Getting composite fire doors right in Wakefield

Our composite fire doors service covers Wakefield and the wider West Yorkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Around Wakefield, GP surgeries, converted period houses and industrial units all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

We only fit composite doors in Wakefield in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Wakefield they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.

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:

• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
• Advice on certified composite products and options
• Certificate reference and photo record
• Weather detailing for external deck-access doors

Fire door law for Wakefield properties

England's framework applies in Wakefield. 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 Wakefield, 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.
