Communal fire doors in March: how we work
Getting communal fire doors right in March means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
March is about 14 miles from Peterborough. Wherever your building is in PE15, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
