Composite fire doors in Great Malvern

What composite fire doors in Great Malvern should include

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

Around Great Malvern, houses with integral garages, schools and small blocks of flats 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 Great Malvern in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Great Malvern 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.

Each installation includes:

• FD30S composite doorset made to measure
• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
• Advice on certified composite products and options

What the rules say for Great Malvern

England's framework applies in Great Malvern. 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 Great Malvern, 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.
