Our Seaham supply and fit service
We cover Seaham and nearby Houghton-le-Spring for timber fire doors, with surveys booked around your building's access and occupancy. Each door is quoted individually, so you can see what every opening costs and why.
Whether your building is in central Seaham or on its edges towards Houghton-le-Spring, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.

Timber fire doors in Seaham: questions
What does a Seaham quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Seaham.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Seaham?
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 a timber fire door be trimmed on site?
Only within the limits the manufacturer's evidence allows, usually a few millimetres. We prefer made-to-measure doorsets so no trimming is needed.
