Your questions answered
Can you work around tenants or staff?
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.
Do you cover the whole of Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit fire exit doors across Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and South Shields.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset.
Which way does a fire exit door open?
Outward, in the direction of escape, where occupancy requires it — most commercial exit doors open outward.
