Getting fire exit doors fitted in Ely
Getting fire exit doors right in Ely means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Where possible we combine Ely surveys with other visits in Cambridgeshire, such as Newmarket and March, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
