What glazed fire doors in Newcastle upon Tyne should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Newcastle upon Tyne, we offer glazed fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Newcastle upon Tyne protect escape routes in shared houses, mixed-use office buildings and purpose-built blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Schools, offices and care settings in Newcastle upon Tyne often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system. We check glazed doors in Newcastle upon Tyne for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement.
Safety and visibility
Glass in doors also has to meet safety glazing rules, so the fire-rated glass chosen needs to be suitable for impact as well. For schools and care settings we also consider where the panel sits so that children or wheelchair users can see through it.
What you get:
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Tested beads, glazing seals and fixings
- Fire-rated glass suited to the rating and location

Questions
Do you cover NE1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Newcastle upon Tyne including NE1, and nearby towns such as Gateshead and Gosforth. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Newcastle upon Tyne building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can any toughened glass go in a fire door?
No. Fire doors need fire-rated glass of the type and size covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the matching beads and seals. Standard toughened glass is not fire resisting.
Are wired glass fire doors still acceptable?
Some older doors use wired glass. Whether it is acceptable depends on its fire rating and whether it meets safety glazing rules for that location. We advise case by case.
