Our Durham supply and fit service
We cover Durham and nearby Chester-le-Street for acoustic fire doors, with surveys booked around your building's access and occupancy. Each door is quoted individually, so you can see what every opening costs and why.
Durham is about 17 miles from Darlington; we cover both, along with Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.
What the law says in Durham
Because Durham is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.
Cost of acoustic fire doors in County Durham
Guide prices for acoustic fire doors in Durham run from about £1,100 to £2,000 per single doorset, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
Made-to-measure sizes for older openings, vision panels and upgraded hardware are the usual reasons a door sits towards the top of the range.

Common questions in County Durham
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Durham.
Is the survey in Durham free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Durham?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Can existing doors be made acoustic?
Seals can help a little, but significant improvement normally needs an acoustic doorset.
