FD30 Fire Doorsets for South Shields buildings
We fit FD30 doorsets for flats, offices, HMOs and corridors in South 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.
South Shields is about 7 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. Wherever your building is in NE33, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.

Expect roughly £750–£1,150 per single doorset for FD30 fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your South Shields quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.

Your questions answered
Can you work around tenants or staff in South 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.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in South Shields.
Do you cover South Shields?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit FD30 fire doors throughout South Shields and the rest of Tyne and Wear, including NE33 and nearby Tynemouth.
Is FD30 the same as E30?
Broadly, yes. FD30 comes from the British test (BS 476-22); E30 is the European classification from BS EN 1634-1. Both mean 30 minutes of integrity. EI30 adds insulation, which some locations and glazed doors need.
