FD60 Fire Doorsets for South Shields buildings
We fit FD60 doorsets for compartment walls, cores and plant rooms 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; we cover both, along with Tynemouth, North Shields and Jarrow.
Fire door rules in South Shields
Because South Shields 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.

Our guide for FD60 fire doors is £1,050–£1,650 per single doorset fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for South Shields are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
Made-to-measure sizes for older openings, vision panels and upgraded hardware are the usual reasons a door sits towards the top of the range.

Common questions in Tyne and Wear
How quickly can you survey in South Shields?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine South Shields visits with other work in Tyne and Wear. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
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.
Can you fit just one door in South Shields?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Tyne and Wear.
Can I use an FD60 door where FD30 is required?
Yes — a higher rating meets a lower requirement — but it is heavier and dearer, so we only recommend it where the location calls for it or you want a margin.
