Communal fire doors in Farnham

Communal fire doors in Farnham: how we work

We fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors in Farnham and the rest of Surrey. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.

Farnham is about 12 miles from Woking. Wherever your building is in GU9, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.

Higher-risk buildings — 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes — also come under the Building Safety Act 2022.
