Getting double fire doors fitted in Washington
Looking for double fire doors in Washington? Our supply and fit service covers NE38 and the surrounding area, including Chester-le-Street and Felling. We quote complete doorsets — leaf, frame, seals, hinges and closer — because that is what the fire certification actually covers.
Where possible we combine Washington surveys with other visits in Tyne and Wear, such as Chester-le-Street and Felling, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Regulations for double fire doors in Tyne and Wear
Because Washington 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 double fire doors in Tyne and Wear
Expect roughly £1,600–£3,400 per pair for double fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Washington 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.
