Certified communal fire doors for Edinburgh
We fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors in Edinburgh and the rest of Edinburgh & the Lothians. 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.
