Fire and security doors Blyth

Landlords with mixed-use buildings in Northumberland can ask us to go through the door schedule for a Blyth property and price the changes together. Fire doors only work if they close fully, so we check gaps, seals and closers on each door we replace in Blyth and across Northumberland.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 179 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Our Blyth work takes in NE23, NE24. Neighbouring Ashington and Cramlington are covered too.

What can we fit in Blyth?

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.

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

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 Blyth?

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 Blyth shop has flats above, the door between the two uses may need a fire rating, so check your fire risk assessment. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Blyth site clean.

Common questions

Do you cover Blyth?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Blyth and across Northumberland, including NE23, NE24. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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.

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.

Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Blyth?

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.
