Communal fire doors in Ashington: questions
Can you fit just one door in Ashington?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Northumberland.
What does a Ashington quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Ashington?
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.
