Our Whitley Bay supply and fit service
We cover Whitley Bay and nearby North Shields 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.
Where possible we combine Whitley Bay surveys with other visits in Tyne and Wear, such as North Shields and Tynemouth, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Fire door rules in Whitley Bay
Fire doors in Whitley Bay sit under English rules: Approved Document B sets what goes in, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers keeping doors effective in non-domestic premises and shared parts of residential buildings, and the 2022 regulations require regular door checks in residential buildings taller than 11 metres. Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.

Your questions answered
What does a Whitley Bay 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 Whitley Bay.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Whitley Bay?
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.
Are timber doors as good as steel?
For FD30 and FD60 in most buildings, yes. Steel suits plant areas, high security and longer ratings.
