Fire door repairs and remedial works for Tyne and Wear buildings
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service runs throughout Tyne and Wear. Main towns include Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and South Shields, and we cover the smaller places in between.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Tyne and Wear building first and return evidence against each action. Send us the inspection report for your Tyne and Wear building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Tyne and Wear can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
What cannot be repaired
Doors with major splits, burns, delamination, large unapproved holes, or gaps far beyond what the certification allows usually need replacing. Paint and filler cannot fix a structural problem in a fire door.
What the rules say for Tyne and Wear
Fire doors in Tyne and Wear fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Tyne and Wear above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
