In and around Stockton-on-Tees, fire door work covers everything from schools to low-rise blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Stockton-on-Tees, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Every doorset we fit in Stockton-on-Tees is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.
How is a doorset installed?
The opening is prepared to the size and tolerances in the manufacturer's instructions. The frame is fixed with the specified fixings at the specified centres, packed where needed, and checked for square, plumb and twist. The gap between frame and wall is then sealed with a material covered by the evidence, which BS 8214:2026 now describes in more detail. Finally the leaf is adjusted, the closer is set and the assembly is tested before the architraves go on.
Each installation includes:
- Doorset selection to rating, size and use
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions

What happens on a survey in Stockton-on-Tees?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
How long do doorsets take to arrive?
Lead times depend on the manufacturer, size, finish and ironmongery. Standard sizes can be quick; bespoke sizes and finishes take longer. We give you the lead time with the quote and confirm it at order.
Can a doorset be fitted into an existing opening?
Usually, yes. Doorsets are made to fit the structural opening once the old frame is removed. We measure the opening on the survey so the doorset is made to the right size and the gaps to the wall stay within what the evidence allows.
