Certified school fire doors for South Shields
We fit fire doors for schools, surgeries and care homes 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.
Where possible we combine South Shields surveys with other visits in Tyne and Wear, such as Tynemouth and North Shields, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
