Communal & Corridor Fire Doors for Tyne and Wear buildings
Across Tyne and Wear we handle communal fire doors for single doors and whole-building programmes alike — survey, fixed quote, certified doorsets and careful installation.
What the law says in Tyne and Wear
Because Tyne and Wear 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.
Communal fire doors prices in Tyne and Wear
Expect roughly £1,600–£3,200 per pair for communal fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Tyne and Wear quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
Each quote covers the certified doorset, standard ironmongery, fitting, removal of the old door and a handover record; anything outside that scope is shown as a separate line before you accept.
