Your questions answered

Can you fit just one door in Musselburgh?

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

What does a Musselburgh quote include?

Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Musselburgh?

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.

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.
