Fire and security doors in Alnwick
Escape routes must stay usable during a changeover, so door work at premises across Northumberland is planned around your Alnwick opening hours.
If your Alnwick shop has flats above, the door between the two uses may need a fire rating, so check your fire risk assessment. Fire doors only work if they close fully, so we check gaps, seals and closers on each door we replace in Alnwick and across Northumberland.
Alnwick is around 199 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. We cover NE65, NE66, NE67 and the surrounding streets, along with Morpeth, Ashington and Blyth.
What can we fit in Alnwick?
What does it cost in Alnwick?
Fire and security doors usually cost £895 to £2,495 ex VAT per door set, supplied and fitted. The rating, leaf size, vision panels, and lock or panic hardware set the price, and steel security doorsets cost more than timber fire doors. Altering a frame, making good the wall or matching existing finishes adds labour. We price each door against its test evidence.
Rear doors can be a weak point, so on your Alnwick premises we look at the frame, hinges and locks together. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so an Alnwick shop can keep trading through the work.
Common questions
Can you come out to Alnwick for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Alnwick. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.
Does my shop legally need a fire door?
It depends on your layout and fire risk assessment. In England and Wales, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to keep people safe, which can mean fire doors on escape routes or between uses. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own fire safety law.
Can you fit a fire door into my existing frame?
Only if the test evidence allows it, and a full doorset is usually the safer route. Old frames may not be fire rated, and gaps or worn hinges can undo the rating. We check the opening and replace the frame, seals and hinges where needed.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Alnwick?
Usually yes, if the new front changes how the building looks. Like-for-like repairs usually don't. Your local planning authority decides, and we can prepare the drawings. Signs and external shutters have their own rules.
