Double & Leaf-and-a-Half Fire Doors for South Benfleet buildings

Your questions answered
Can you work around tenants or staff in South Benfleet?
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.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in South Benfleet.
Do you cover South Benfleet?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit double fire doors throughout South Benfleet and the rest of Essex, including SS7 and nearby Pitsea.
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.
