What fire door replacement in Tyne and Wear should include
For fire door replacement anywhere in Tyne and Wear, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields and the rest of the county.
If your Tyne and Wear building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Tyne and Wear opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
Fire door work in Tyne and Wear spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
Minimal disruption
We never leave an opening without a door. Replacements are scheduled so the new door is on site before the old one comes out, and each opening is finished, tested and photographed the same day wherever possible.
Rules and responsibilities in Tyne and Wear
England's framework applies in Tyne and Wear. 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 Tyne and Wear, 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.

- Review the inspection report or survey each door
