Fire exit doors: our service in Epsom
If you need fire exit doors in Epsom, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Epsom protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Exit doors in Epsom can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out. Shops, warehouses and schools in Epsom each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency.
Security without blocking escape
Exit doors need to keep intruders out while letting people out in seconds. We can fit outside access devices, alarmed hardware and access control interfaces that do not stop the door being opened from inside. Any of these on a fire-rated exit door must be covered by its evidence.
Each installation includes:
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Commissioning and handover
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
The regulations behind fire doors in Epsom
Fire doors in Epsom fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Epsom above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

How quickly can you survey in Epsom?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Do fire exit doors need closers?
Final exit doors often have closers for security and weather reasons. If the exit door is also a fire door, a closer is normally required to keep it shut.
Which is better, a push bar or a push pad?
Push bars (panic hardware) suit public areas; push pads and levers (emergency exit hardware) suit areas used by trained staff. The choice depends on who will use the door in an emergency.
