Fire exit doors in Tynemouth

Getting fire exit doors right in Tynemouth

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Tynemouth, we offer fire exit doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Fire doors in Tynemouth protect escape routes in high-street shops, houses with integral garages and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Before quoting for an exit door in Tynemouth, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Tynemouth can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.

Panic bars or emergency hardware?

Panic hardware to BS EN 1125, such as push bars, is designed for places where members of the public may be present and may not know the building. Emergency exit hardware to BS EN 179, such as push pads or levers, is for areas used by trained staff who know how the exit works. The right choice depends on who will be using the door in an emergency.

Each installation includes:

• Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
• BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
• Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
• Outside access devices and alarmed options

The regulations behind fire doors in Tynemouth

The rules that apply to fire doors in Tynemouth 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 Tynemouth 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.

Which buildings in Tynemouth need fire exit doors?

From warehouses to hospitality venues, the requirement for fire exit doors in Tynemouth comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
