Steel fire doors in Tyne and Wear: how we work
Throughout Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and South Shields, we survey, quote and fit steel fire doorsets as complete certified doorsets, with the manufacturer's certificate reference on every quote.
What the law says in Tyne and Wear
New and replacement fire doors in Tyne and Wear are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
What do steel fire doors cost in Tyne and Wear?
Guide prices for steel fire doors in Tyne and Wear run from about £1,100 to £2,600 per single doorset, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
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
Which rules apply in Tyne and Wear?
Doors are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Is the survey free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Can you work around tenants or staff?
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 steel fire doors be painted?
They are factory powder-coated. Site painting is possible but must not cover seals.
