Fire Door Installation in Newton Aycliffe

From the DL5 district outwards, we cover Newton Aycliffe and neighbouring towns such as Bishop Auckland and Darlington for fire door installations.

Fire door installation is the supply and fitting of a fire-resisting door, ideally as a complete doorset of leaf, frame, seals and hardware, installed exactly as its test evidence and the manufacturer's instructions require, so the finished door performs as tested. We use the same method for buildings in Newton Aycliffe.

Questions from Newton Aycliffe clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Newton Aycliffe?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Newton Aycliffe can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Which fire safety law applies in Newton Aycliffe?

Newton Aycliffe is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

What do FD30 and FD60 mean?

They describe how long the door is designed to resist fire in a test: 30 or 60 minutes. An S after the rating, such as FD30S, means the door also controls the passage of cold smoke.

Can you fit a fire door into the existing frame?

Sometimes, if the frame is sound, compatible with the new leaf and the leaf's evidence allows it. Often a complete doorset is cheaper over the door's life and easier to evidence.
