Expert Fire Doors Surrey
Fire doors are a legal requirement in the UK for any building with communal areas. If you own or manage a property, you are legally obligated to ensure all escape routes are protected by fully compliant, fully operational fire doors.
At Summit Environmental, we specialise in fire door inspections and compliance services across Surrey, helping property owners meet their obligations while safeguarding lives and property.
Why Fire Doors Matter
A well-installed and maintained fire door is your first line of defence during a fire. Modern fire doors are specially designed to:
- Automatically close behind you
- Contain flames and block toxic smoke
- Protect escape routes, corridors, and flats
- Resist fire for a minimum of 30 minutes (FD30 rated)
Without proper installation and routine inspection, even a certified fire door can fail in an emergency. That’s why regular inspections are crucial for any building’s fire safety plan.
Fire Door Inspections
Our fire door inspection service ensures that every fire door is functioning as intended. We check for:
- Proper sealing and alignment
- Working self-closing mechanisms
- Damage or wear that could impact performance
- Certification and regulatory compliance
With over 75% of fire-related deaths caused by smoke inhalation (often in rooms where the fire didn’t start) a functioning fire door can literally mean the difference between life and death.
