What commercial fire doors in Ewell should include
If you need commercial fire doors in Ewell, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Ewell has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Offices, shops and hotels in Ewell can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Ewell, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
The regulations behind fire doors in Ewell
The rules that apply to fire doors in Ewell are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Ewell block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Ewell
Do you cover KT17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Ewell including KT17, and nearby towns such as Epsom and Sutton. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can you install fire doors outside business hours?
Yes. We regularly plan work for evenings, weekends or quiet periods so that offices, shops and hotels can keep running.
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.
