Communal fire doors in Pontypool: how we work
Getting communal fire doors right in Pontypool 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.
Where possible we combine Pontypool surveys with other visits in Gwent, such as Cwmbran and Risca, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
