Getting flat entrance fire doors fitted in Gateshead
Looking for flat entrance fire doors in Gateshead? Our supply and fit service covers NE8 and the surrounding area, including Newcastle upon Tyne and Felling. We quote complete doorsets — leaf, frame, seals, hinges and closer — because that is what the fire certification actually covers.
Whether your building is in central Gateshead or on its edges towards Newcastle upon Tyne, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
Which rules apply in Gateshead?
Because Gateshead 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.
What do flat entrance fire doors cost in Gateshead?
Our guide for flat entrance fire doors is £1,250–£2,300 per door fitted, ex VAT. Quotes for Gateshead are fixed once we've measured, and include removing and disposing of old doors where they're being replaced.
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.

Common questions in Tyne and Wear
Can you work around tenants or staff in Gateshead?
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.
Can you fit just one door in Gateshead?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Tyne and Wear.
What does a Gateshead quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Can I fit my own new front door to my flat?
Only with a doorset that meets the building's fire and smoke requirements, and usually with the freeholder's consent. A non-compliant replacement can put the whole building at risk.
