Fire and security doors in Hexham
Escape routes must stay usable during a changeover, so door work at premises across Northumberland is planned around your Hexham opening hours.
Landlords with mixed-use buildings in Northumberland can ask us to go through the door schedule for a Hexham 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 Hexham and across Northumberland.
Work in Hexham is run from Birmingham, roughly 168 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Postcodes we work in around here include NE46, and we also cover Consett, Stanley and Newcastle upon Tyne nearby.
What do most businesses choose in Hexham?
What does it cost in Hexham?
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 Hexham premises we look at the frame, hinges and locks together. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Hexham shop can keep trading through the work.
Common questions
Do you work in NE46?
Yes. Hexham and the NE46 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.
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 Hexham?
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.
