Fire and security doors in Ashington
Rear doors can be a weak point, so on your Ashington premises we look at the frame, hinges and locks together.
Escape routes must stay usable during a changeover, so door work at premises across Northumberland is planned around your Ashington opening hours. Fire doors only work if they close fully, so we check gaps, seals and closers on each door we replace in Ashington and across Northumberland.
Ashington is around 183 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Our Ashington work takes in NE22, NE62, NE63. Neighbouring Blyth and Morpeth are covered too.

What does it cost in Ashington?
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.
Landlords with mixed-use buildings in Northumberland can ask us to go through the door schedule for an Ashington property and price the changes together. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so an Ashington shop can keep trading through the work.
Common questions
Do you work in NE22, NE62, NE63?
Yes. Ashington and the NE22, NE62, NE63 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.
What is the difference between FD30 and FD60?
FD30 is tested to hold back fire for 30 minutes and FD60 for 60 minutes. An S suffix, as in FD30S, means the door also limits smoke. Your fire risk assessment or fire strategy sets the rating each door needs.
How often should fire doors be checked?
Regularly, at intervals set by your fire risk assessment, with busy doors checked more often. Look for damaged seals, wide gaps, loose hinges and closers that no longer pull the door shut. Keep a written record, and have any damage put right by a competent person.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Ashington?
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.
