Communal fire doors in Newry, done to the evidence
When you book communal fire doors in Newry, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Newry range from light industrial buildings to houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We phase communal door replacements in Newry so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme. The evidence pack for each communal door in Newry is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets.
Pairs, vision panels and robust finishes
We fit single, double and leaf-and-a-half communal doors, with vision panels in tested glazing systems and finishes chosen to stand up to use, such as laminates and kick plates covered by the certification. For pairs, the meeting edges, rebates and any door coordinator must match the evidence; see our double fire doors page.
As standard, the work covers:
- Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records
- Certified single, double or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers, coordinators and hold-opens as required
- Tested vision panels and durable finishes

Questions
Do you cover BT35 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Newry including BT35, and nearby towns such as Portadown and Craigavon. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Will the stairs be out of use while you work?
No. We phase the work so that each route stays protected and usable, replacing doors one section at a time and never leaving an opening without a door at the end of the day.
Do communal doors need vision panels?
Not always, but they are common on cross-corridor and lobby doors so people can see who is coming the other way. Any glazing has to be fire-rated and fitted in a tested system.
