Our North Shields supply and fit service
We fit FD30 doorsets for flats, offices, HMOs and corridors in North Shields 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.
We cover NE30 and the surrounding area, including Tynemouth. Tell us your postcode and preferred dates and we'll confirm a survey slot.

Common questions in Tyne and Wear
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in North Shields?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
Can you work around tenants or staff in North Shields?
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.
What does a North Shields quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Does an FD30 door need a self-closer?
Almost always. Fire doors only work closed, so they need a self-closing device unless they are cupboard or riser doors kept locked shut.
