Commercial fire doors for Felling buildings
When you book commercial fire doors in Felling, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Felling protect escape routes in care homes, family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Offices, shops and hotels in Felling can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Felling, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
Working in live premises
We plan commercial installations around trading hours, out-of-hours slots and phased handovers, keeping escape routes protected throughout. You get a clear record per door that your fire risk assessor can use.
On a typical job that means:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Out-of-hours and phased working
The regulations behind fire doors in Felling
The rules that apply to fire doors in Felling are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Felling 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.

Questions
Do you cover NE10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Felling including NE10, and nearby towns such as Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Felling building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Who is responsible for fire doors in a commercial building?
The responsible person under the fire safety law for that nation, usually the employer, owner or occupier. Leases often share duties between landlord and tenant.
Can fire doors have access control?
Yes, if the electric locks, readers and cabling are covered by the door's certification and the locking releases safely for escape. We coordinate with your security contractor.
