Fire exit doors for Ewell buildings
We provide fire exit doors in Ewell (KT17 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Ewell, family homes after loft conversions, houses with integral garages and care homes 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.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Ewell each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Before quoting for an exit door in Ewell, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires.
Is every fire exit door a fire door?
Not necessarily. A final exit door leading straight outside often does not need fire resistance, but it must open easily in the direction of escape and be secure the rest of the time. If the exit door also sits in a wall that the fire strategy requires to resist fire, it needs to be a certified fire doorset as well. We check which applies before quoting, so you do not pay for fire resistance you do not need, or miss it where you do.
What you get:
- Commissioning and handover
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Outside access devices and alarmed options
Which fire door rules apply in Ewell?

Where a Ewell block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Can a fire exit door be locked?
It can be secured against entry from outside, but it must open from inside without a key whenever the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware are designed for exactly this.
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.
