Double fire doors: our service in Ashford (Surrey)
When you book double fire doors in Ashford (Surrey), the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Ashford (Surrey) protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, schools and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Every pair we fit in Ashford (Surrey) is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Ashford (Surrey) 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.
Each installation includes:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
What the rules say for Ashford (Surrey)
England's framework applies in Ashford (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.

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions
Is Ashford (Surrey) within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Ashford (Surrey) in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Staines. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Ashford (Surrey) 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.
Why does the gap between the two leaves matter?
The meeting edges are where flame and smoke can pass most easily. The gap and the seals there must match the certification for the pair to perform as tested.
