Flat entrance fire doors in Ewell

Flat entrance fire doors in Ewell: what's involved

When you book flat entrance fire doors in Ewell, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

In and around Ewell, fire door work covers everything from care homes to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Flat entrance door programmes in Ewell are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Ewell, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.

What goes into a compliant flat entrance doorset?

We fit certified FD30S doorsets with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closing device that closes and latches the door from any angle, fire-tested hinges and a lock or latch covered by the certification. Door viewers, spy holes, letterplates, numerals and security hardware can only be fitted if they are part of the doorset's evidence. Where residents want a letterplate, we use one that is covered by the test evidence or recommend a separate post box.

As standard, the work covers:

• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
• Self-closer set to close and latch
• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
