Our Dunstable supply and fit service
We fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors in Dunstable and the rest of Bedfordshire. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Dunstable is about 4 miles from Luton; we cover both, along with Luton, Leighton Buzzard and Harpenden.

Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Dunstable?
