Communal fire doors in Newcastle upon Tyne: how we work
Need communal fire doors in Newcastle upon Tyne? We supply and fit complete certified doorsets across Tyne and Wear, starting with a free measure survey in and around NE1.

Surveys in Newcastle upon Tyne are booked around your access needs, and we cover the wider Tyne and Wear area too.
Which rules apply in Newcastle upon Tyne?
Because Newcastle upon Tyne 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 communal fire doors in Tyne and Wear
Expect roughly £1,600–£3,200 per pair for communal fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Newcastle upon Tyne quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
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.
