Fire and security doors in Cramlington

If your Cramlington shop has flats above, the door between the two uses may need a fire rating, so check your fire risk assessment.

Fire door with vision panel and panic bar

Insurers may set conditions on locks and doors, so send us your policy wording before we specify a doorset for your Cramlington unit. Fire doors only work if they close fully, so we check gaps, seals and closers on each door we replace in Cramlington and across Northumberland.

Cramlington is around 176 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Our Cramlington work takes in NE13, NE22, NE23. Neighbouring Blyth and Ashington are covered too.

What are the options in Cramlington?

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.
FD60 doorsetsThese give 60 minutes of fire resistance where the fire strategy calls for a stronger division.
FD30 and FD30S doorsetsThese give 30 minutes of fire resistance. The S means smoke seals are fitted to limit the spread of cold smoke.

What does it cost in Cramlington?

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 Cramlington premises we look at the frame, hinges and locks together. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Cramlington shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Do you work in NE13, NE22, NE23?

Yes. Cramlington and the NE13, NE22, NE23 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.

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 Cramlington?

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.
