We supply and install glazed fire doorsets in timber, steel and aluminium, single and double, as stand-alone doors or within glazed screens. We match the door to the rating and duty of its position, and fit it to the manufacturer's installation instructions.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Stockton-on-Tees budgets are not open-ended.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.
Our County Durham coverage takes in Stockton-on-Tees (TS19, TS18, TS20, TS17, TS23, TS5) and the neighbouring towns of Billingham, Thornaby-on-Tees, Middlesbrough. Darlington, around 16 km from Stockton-on-Tees, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
