Fire doors in Bude — what the specification looks like here
Bude's residential stock — Bude's north-coast weather is brutal. Our marine-suitable composite doors are the right specification for exposed properties in Widemouth, Poughill and Stratton — sits under the same fire-safety duties as anywhere in the county. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every front door opening onto a shared escape route in Bude (EX23) is a fire door, and its integrity is a legal duty on the landlord or freeholder.
We install FD30, FD30S and FD60 certified composite fire doorsets across Bude — from single flat-entrance replacements in converted terraces to portfolio-wide programmes for landlords, HMO operators and block managers. Every installation carries independent third-party certification (BM TRADA Q-Mark, Certifire or IFC), is installed strictly to the manufacturer's tested method, and hands over with the manufacturer certificate, installation certificate and photographic evidence.
Fire performance and PAS24:2022 security arrive in the same doorset — 3-star anti-snap cylinder, multi-point locking and impact-tested frame as standard. The specification does not compromise on either count, and the finish is available across our full colour and style palette. Cover extends across Summerleaze Beach and Bude Canal and the surrounding villages within the EX23 postcode area.

Bude sits fully exposed to the north Cornish coast, and its fire door demand is shaped as much by weather as by building type. A mix of converted seafront guest houses, holiday apartments near Summerleaze and Crooklets, and inland terraces in Stratton and Poughill means the town has both the salt-exposure concerns of a coastal town and the older-terrace conversion issues found further inland.
Bude's growth as a holiday destination over the last few decades has also left it with a number of buildings that were extended or converted informally, which means the fire door survey here often turns up escape routes that don't follow the layout you'd expect from the building's exterior.
Seafront guest houses converted to flats
Several larger Victorian and Edwardian properties near Summerleaze and the canal were built as guest houses and have since been split into holiday or residential flats. These conversions often have a single shared stair serving several units, similar to Newquay's converted hotels, and typically need FD30S as a minimum with FD60 considered on the main escape stair depending on the building's Fire Risk Assessment.
Weather exposure on the north coast
Bude faces the full force of Atlantic weather with very little in the way of natural shelter, and doors here take more sustained wind-driven rain than almost anywhere else in Cornwall. We specify drained thresholds, marine-grade hardware and a slightly more generous weather seal on every Bude fire door, without which even a well-rated door can develop draughts or sticking that leads occupants to prop it open.
Stratton and Poughill's older cottages
Inland from the seafront, the historic villages of Stratton and Poughill — now effectively part of Bude — have older stone cottages with the same fire-door-conversion issues seen in market towns further inland: informal historic splits into flats, with front doors that were never rated.
Who's responsible in Bude
A number of holiday-let management companies operate across Bude's apartment stock, alongside individual landlords in the older cottages — the coastal exposure means we're often asked to specify hardware upgrades on existing fire doors as part of a routine refurbishment rather than a full doorset replacement.
