Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Gateshead
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers Gateshead and the wider Tyne and Wear area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Gateshead range from industrial estates to high-street shops and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Send us the inspection report for your Gateshead building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Gateshead building first and return evidence against each action.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
As standard, the work covers:
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
The regulations behind fire doors in Gateshead
England's framework applies in Gateshead. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Gateshead, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
