Your questions answered
Do you cover Skelmersdale?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit double fire doors throughout Skelmersdale and the rest of Lancashire, including WN8 and nearby Ormskirk.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Skelmersdale?
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.
Is the survey in Skelmersdale free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
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.
