Questions about flat entrance fire doors in Dorset
Can you fit just one door?
Yes — from a single door to a full building.
Is the survey free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset.
Who is responsible for flat front fire doors?
Usually the freeholder or managing agent as the responsible person, but leases vary — some make the leaseholder responsible for the door. Either way, it falls within the building's fire risk assessment.
