Your questions answered
How quickly can you survey in Workington?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Workington visits with other work in Cumbria. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Workington?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
What does a Workington quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Should communal doors be glazed?
Doors across corridors usually need vision panels so people can see who is on the other side. The glass must be tested in that doorset.
