Your questions answered

What does a Wakefield quote include?

Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Wakefield?

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 remove the old doors?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Wakefield.

Do fire exit doors need to be fire doors?

Not always. It depends on the wall they sit in and nearby escape routes.
