Common questions in Essex

Which rules do glazed fire doors in Pitsea need to meet?

They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.

Is the survey in Pitsea free?

Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Pitsea?

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 wired glass still used?

Rarely now. Modern clear fire-resistant glass gives much better visibility.
