Our Maidstone supply and fit service
We fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors in Maidstone and the rest of Kent. 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.
We cover Maidstone and the rest of Kent, with surveys arranged around your building's access and occupancy.
