Flat entrance fire doors in Dover: questions
Can you work around tenants or staff in Dover?
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.
Is the survey in Dover free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Dover?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Can I fit my own new front door to my flat?
Only with a doorset that meets the building's fire and smoke requirements, and usually with the freeholder's consent. A non-compliant replacement can put the whole building at risk.
