FD30 Fire Doorsets for Rochester buildings
We fit FD30 doorsets for flats, offices, HMOs and corridors in Rochester and the rest of Kent. 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.
Rochester is about 8 miles from Maidstone. Wherever your building is in ME1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
