Questions about fire door replacement in Hitchin
Can you fit just one door in Hitchin?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Hertfordshire.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Hitchin?
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.
Which rules do fire door replacement in Hitchin 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 replace just the door leaf?
Only if the existing frame is covered by the new leaf's evidence, which is uncommon. A complete doorset is usually needed.
