Common questions in Norfolk
Which rules do communal fire doors in Thetford 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.
Can you fit just one door in Thetford?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Norfolk.
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Thetford?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
Do you replace doors while the building is occupied?
Yes. We phase work so escape routes are maintained, and plan each door to be removed and replaced the same day. If that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
