What double fire doors in Surrey should include
Across Surrey, from Woking to Guildford, we survey, supply and fit double fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
Every pair we fit in Surrey is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Surrey take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
Fire door work in Surrey spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Surrey
England's framework applies in Surrey. 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 Surrey, 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.

Guide prices in Surrey
If you need a budget figure first, the guide for double fire doors is £1,600–£3,400 per pair supplied and fitted, depending on glazing and hardware, ex VAT. We firm that up after a survey, pricing each door separately so you can see where the money goes.
Common questions
Do you provide double fire doors across Surrey?
Yes. We cover all of Surrey, including Woking and Guildford. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can double fire doors be held open?
Yes, with hold-open devices that release on the fire alarm, or with free-swing closers. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
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.
