Double fire doors for Epsom buildings
When you book double fire doors in Epsom, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Epsom range from light industrial buildings to schools and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Epsom take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Epsom is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Why pairs need extra care
The meeting stiles are the weak point of a pair. Gaps there must be controlled, both leaves need intumescent and smoke seals as specified, and if the meeting edges are rebated, a door coordinator is usually needed so the leaves close in the right order. If they close out of sequence, the door may not latch and will not perform as tested.
As standard, the work covers:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers matched to each leaf
Which fire door rules apply in Epsom?
In Epsom, 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 Epsom 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.

Questions from Epsom
Is Epsom within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Epsom in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Ewell. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Epsom 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.
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.
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.
