Getting communal fire doors fitted in Northumberland
We supply and fit communal fire doors across Northumberland, including Blyth, Cramlington and Ashington. Every job starts with a free measure survey and ends with a handover pack listing each certified doorset fitted.
Which rules apply in Northumberland?
Because Northumberland 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.

Common questions in Northumberland
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Can you work around tenants or staff?
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.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset.
Can communal fire doors be held open?
Only with an approved hold-open or free-swing device linked to the fire alarm. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
