Questions about communal fire doors in Melton Mowbray
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Melton Mowbray?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.

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.
Which rules do communal fire doors in Melton Mowbray need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
