Communal fire doors in Paignton: questions

Can you work around tenants or staff in Paignton?

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.

Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Paignton?

Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.

Can you fit just one door in Paignton?

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Devon.

Can communal fire doors be held open?

Only with an approved hold-open or free-swing device linked to the fire alarm. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
