Communal fire doors in Tynemouth: how we work
We fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors in Tynemouth and the rest of Tyne and Wear. 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 Tynemouth surveys with other visits in Tyne and Wear, such as North Shields and South Shields, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
