Composite fire doors in Worcestershire, done to the evidence
For composite fire doors anywhere in Worcestershire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Worcester, Redditch, Kidderminster and the rest of the county.
For deck-access blocks in and around Worcestershire, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Worcestershire in configurations covered by the product's certification.
Fire door work in Worcestershire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
Fire door law for Worcestershire properties
England's framework applies in Worcestershire. 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 Worcestershire, 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.

- Survey opening, threshold and exposure

Composite fire doors questions
Do you provide composite fire doors across Worcestershire?
Yes. We cover all of Worcestershire, including Worcester and Redditch. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
