Getting communal fire doors fitted in Stockton-on-Tees
We fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors in Stockton-on-Tees and the rest of County Durham. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Where possible we combine Stockton-on-Tees surveys with other visits in County Durham, such as Billingham and Thornaby-on-Tees, which helps keep survey dates flexible.

In Stockton-on-Tees, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.
