Commercial fire doors for Caterham buildings
From the CR3 postcode district outwards, we take on commercial fire doors across Caterham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Caterham protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, care homes and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Offices, shops and hotels in Caterham can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Caterham, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
Access control and hold-opens
Modern offices and hotels often combine fire doors with access control, electric locks and hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm. Electric locking on an escape route has to release safely, and any holes, cables and devices in the door must be covered by the evidence. We coordinate with your security and fire alarm contractors on the interfaces.
What you get:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Out-of-hours and phased working
The regulations behind fire doors in Caterham
In Caterham, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Caterham building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Is Caterham within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Caterham in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Coulsdon. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Caterham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can veneered fire doors match our interior?
Many certified doorsets come in a wide range of veneers and laminates, so matching an interior scheme is usually possible.
Can fire doors have access control?
Yes, if the electric locks, readers and cabling are covered by the door's certification and the locking releases safely for escape. We coordinate with your security contractor.
