Fire door replacement: our service in Newton Aycliffe
Our fire door replacement service covers Newton Aycliffe and the wider County Durham area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Newton Aycliffe, care homes, schools and family homes after loft conversions all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
If your Newton Aycliffe building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Newton Aycliffe opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
After an inspection report
Most replacement work follows a fire door inspection or fire risk assessment. Send us the report and we will price each action, replacement or repair, door by door, so you can prioritise. Our guide to failed inspections explains how to read the findings.
On a typical job that means:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Removal and disposal of the old door
The regulations behind fire doors in Newton Aycliffe
The rules that apply to fire doors in Newton Aycliffe 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 Newton Aycliffe 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.
