Our South Shields supply and fit service
Fire Rated Doors supplies and fits security fire doors in South Shields, Tyne and Wear. Whether it's a single replacement or every door in a block, we start by surveying the openings and end with a handover pack listing each doorset and its certificate reference.
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.
