Communal fire doors in Newburn

Communal fire doors in Newburn, done to the evidence

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Newburn, we offer communal fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Buildings in and around Newburn range from small blocks of flats to houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Communal corridors and stairs in Newburn buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. The evidence pack for each communal door in Newburn 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.

What you get:

• Survey of every communal opening and its use
• Tested vision panels and durable finishes
• Phased programme keeping escape routes protected
• Certified single, double or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
