What composite fire doors in Wallsend should include
We provide composite fire doors in Wallsend (NE28 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Wallsend has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For deck-access blocks in and around Wallsend, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Wallsend in configurations covered by the product's certification.
How we fit composite doorsets
Composite doorsets are installed strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically set out fixing positions, packing, the sealing of the frame-to-wall gap and threshold details. We set the closer so that it closes and latches the door, test the locks and record everything for your files. Where a resident or freeholder chooses colours, we make sure the chosen option is within the certified range.
What you get:
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
Fire door law for Wallsend properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Wallsend 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 Wallsend 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 NE28 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wallsend including NE28, and nearby towns such as Hebburn and Jarrow. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Wallsend 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.
Are composite fire doors as good as timber ones?
Both can perform well when they are certified and installed correctly. Composite doors offer low maintenance and colour choice; timber doorsets offer more flexibility on sizes and finishes. The certification and installation matter more than the material.
Do composite fire doors need a closer?
Yes, as flat entrance doors they need a self-closing device that closes and latches them. This can be overhead or concealed, depending on the certified options.
