We cover Watford and the rest of Hertfordshire, with surveys arranged around your building's access and occupancy.

FD30S fire doors in Watford: questions
Can you fit just one door in Watford?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Hertfordshire.
How quickly can you survey in Watford?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Watford visits with other work in Hertfordshire. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Watford.
Is a threshold seal needed?
It depends on the doorset's test evidence. Some FD30S doorsets need a drop-down or threshold seal; others control smoke with a set threshold gap.
