Common questions in Bedfordshire
Can you work around tenants or staff in Ampthill?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
How quickly can you survey in Ampthill?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Ampthill visits with other work in Bedfordshire. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Can you fit just one door in Ampthill?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Bedfordshire.
Why does my double fire door not close properly?
Usually the door selector is missing or out of adjustment, or the leaves have dropped. Pairs need the inactive leaf to close first.
