Our Seaham supply and fit service
Getting school fire doors right in Seaham means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Where possible we combine Seaham surveys with other visits in County Durham, such as Houghton-le-Spring and Sunderland, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Regulations for school fire doors in County Durham
In Seaham, 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.

We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Seaham visits with other work in County Durham. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Can we stop staff wedging fire doors open?
Alarm-linked hold-open devices or free-swing closers remove the need to wedge doors and close them automatically in a fire.
