Your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Harwich?

Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Harwich?

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.

Can you fit just one door in Harwich?

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Essex.

Does fire glass need to be safety glass too?

In low-level and door glazing, yes — many fire glasses also meet impact safety classes.
