Getting fire exit doors fitted in Gillingham
For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Gillingham, we provide fire exit doors with panic hardware with one fixed quote. A free survey comes first, then a door-by-door schedule, then installation to the manufacturer's instructions and a handover pack for your records.
Where possible we combine Gillingham surveys with other visits in Kent, such as Chatham and Rochester, which helps keep survey dates flexible.

Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.
Cost of fire exit doors in Kent
