FD60 fire doors in Tyne and Wear: how we work
Across Tyne and Wear we handle FD60 fire doors for single doors and whole-building programmes alike — survey, fixed quote, certified doorsets and careful installation.
Which rules apply in Tyne and Wear?
In Tyne and Wear, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.

Your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit FD60 fire doors across Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and South Shields.
Can you fit just one door?
Yes — from a single door to a full building.
Can you work around tenants or staff?
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 FD60 doors need different closers?
Often a stronger closer, sized to the heavier leaf, still keeping opening forces within Approved Document M limits where accessibility applies.
