Fire and security doors Berwick-upon-Tweed

Rear doors can be a weak point, so on your Berwick-upon-Tweed premises we look at the frame, hinges and locks together. Fire doors only work if they close fully, so we check gaps, seals and closers on each door we replace in Berwick-upon-Tweed and across Northumberland.

Berwick-upon-Tweed is around 223 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Our Berwick-upon-Tweed work takes in TD15. Neighbouring Alnwick and Morpeth are covered too.

What are the options in Berwick-upon-Tweed?

FD30 and FD30S doorsetsThese give 30 minutes of fire resistance. The S means smoke seals are fitted to limit the spread of cold smoke.

Panic and emergency exit hardwareBS EN 1125 panic bars suit doors used by the public, and BS EN 179 devices suit staff who know the building.

Fire-rated vision panelsFire-rated glass can be included if it is covered by the test evidence for that door.

What does it cost in Berwick-upon-Tweed?

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.

If your Berwick-upon-Tweed shop has flats above, the door between the two uses may need a fire rating, so check your fire risk assessment. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Berwick-upon-Tweed job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you cover Berwick-upon-Tweed?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Berwick-upon-Tweed and across Northumberland, including TD15. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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 I put a lock on a fire exit door?

You can, but it must open easily from the inside without a key while people are in the building. That is why panic bars to BS EN 1125 or emergency exit devices to BS EN 179 are used. Extra locks must never block escape during opening hours.

Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Berwick-upon-Tweed?

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.
