Steel fire doors: our service in Cramlington
When you book steel fire doors in Cramlington, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Cramlington protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Cramlington often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Cramlington we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
Where steel fire doors are the better choice
Steel doorsets cope with impact, damp and rough handling better than most timber doors. They are a natural fit for plant and boiler rooms, refuse stores, car park lobbies, workshops and warehouses. Many steel doorsets are available in ratings of 60 minutes and beyond where the test evidence supports it, which suits the higher-rated walls around plant spaces.
What you get:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
Which fire door rules apply in Cramlington?
England's framework applies in Cramlington. 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 Cramlington, 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.

Questions from Cramlington

Are steel fire doors better than timber?
Not better, just suited to different places. Steel doors are tougher and resist damp and impact, so they suit plant rooms and industrial areas. Timber doors are more common in residential and office interiors.
Do steel fire doors need intumescent seals?
Some steel doorsets use intumescent seals and some do not, depending on how they were tested. The certification sets out exactly what is required.
