Getting commercial fire doors right in Gateshead
We provide commercial fire doors in Gateshead (NE8 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Gateshead, industrial estates, high-street shops and HMOs 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.
Each commercial door we fit in Gateshead gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Gateshead can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
Doors that look the part and still perform
Commercial interiors often need veneered, laminated or painted finishes, glazing, push plates, kick plates and signage. All of this is possible on a fire door, provided every element is covered by the doorset's certification. We specify the finish and hardware at the outset so nothing has to be improvised on site.
Each installation includes:
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Glazed and solid options to certification
What the rules say for Gateshead
England's framework applies in Gateshead. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Gateshead, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
