Your questions answered
Is the survey in Bury St Edmunds free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
What does a Bury St Edmunds quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Can you fit just one door in Bury St Edmunds?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Suffolk.
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.
