Double fire doors in Coulsdon, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Coulsdon, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Coulsdon has a broad mix of buildings, including converted flats, schools and purpose-built blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Every pair we fit in Coulsdon is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Coulsdon care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
Leaf-and-a-half for wider routes
Leaf-and-a-half doors give a usable everyday opening through the main leaf, with the smaller leaf opened for beds, trolleys or deliveries. They are common in care homes, hospitals and schools. The smaller leaf may be held with flush bolts; any bolts and their positions must be covered by the evidence.
What you get:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
Which fire door rules apply in Coulsdon?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Coulsdon 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Coulsdon sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Coulsdon 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
Do you work in Coulsdon?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Coulsdon and the surrounding area, including Purley and Banstead. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Coulsdon building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Do both leaves need closers?
Usually, yes. Each leaf of a fire door pair needs to close itself. The closers are sized to each leaf's width and weight.
What does a door coordinator do?
It holds the leaf that must close second until the first leaf has shut, so rebated meeting edges close in the right order and both leaves latch. Without it, the pair can end up open or misaligned.
