Fire door closers in Epsom: what's involved
Our fire door closers service covers Epsom and the wider Surrey area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Epsom, small blocks of flats, houses with integral garages and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Epsom fire doors. We set closers in Epsom buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open.
The most common fire door fault
A fire door that does not close is not doing its job. Closers fail because they are under-powered, out of adjustment, damaged, leaking or disconnected by people who find the door too heavy. Often the fix is a correctly sized closer, set up properly, rather than a new door.
What you get:
- Record of model and settings
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
Which fire door rules apply in Epsom?
England's framework applies in Epsom. 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 Epsom, 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.

How quickly can you survey in Epsom?

What is a free-swing closer?
A closer that lets the door swing freely in normal use and closes it when the fire alarm operates. It suits care settings and people who find doors heavy.
Why won't my fire door latch?
Usually the closer is out of adjustment or under-powered, or the latch and keep are misaligned. Both are normally quick to fix.
