Our Lowestoft supply and fit service
We fit fire doors for loft conversions, garages and family homes in Lowestoft and the rest of Suffolk. 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.
Lowestoft is about 39 miles from Ipswich. Wherever your building is in NR32, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
