Common questions in Kent
What does a Whitstable quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Which rules do FD30 fire doors in Whitstable need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Can you fit just one door in Whitstable?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Kent.

Only if the manufacturer's evidence allows that frame, which is rare. We normally supply the complete doorset with a new frame so the certification carries through to the finished job.
