Common questions in Kent

Can you work around tenants or staff in Sevenoaks?

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.

Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Sevenoaks?

Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.

Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Sevenoaks?

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

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.
