Commercial fire doors: our service in Newburn
From the NE15 postcode district outwards, we take on commercial fire doors across Newburn for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Newburn protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, schools and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Offices, shops and hotels in Newburn can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Newburn, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
Access control and hold-opens
Modern offices and hotels often combine fire doors with access control, electric locks and hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm. Electric locking on an escape route has to release safely, and any holes, cables and devices in the door must be covered by the evidence. We coordinate with your security and fire alarm contractors on the interfaces.
What you get:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
Rules and responsibilities in Newburn
The rules that apply to fire doors in Newburn 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 Newburn 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.
