Double fire doors in Leatherhead, done to the evidence
Looking for double fire doors in Leatherhead? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Leatherhead and the wider Surrey area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Leatherhead, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Leatherhead care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Leatherhead take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
Hold-opens and escape
Pairs on corridors are often held open in daily use, with hold-open devices releasing both leaves when the alarm sounds. Where a pair is on an escape route used by the public, the escape hardware and the direction of opening also need to suit the fire strategy.
As standard, the work covers:
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
The regulations behind fire doors in Leatherhead
In Leatherhead, 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 Leatherhead 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
Do you work in Leatherhead?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Leatherhead and the surrounding area, including Epsom and Ewell. 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 Leatherhead 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.
