Your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Wednesbury?

Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.

Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.

Which rules do communal fire doors in Wednesbury 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.

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.
