Our Torquay supply and fit service
Getting HMO fire doors right in Torquay means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Where possible we combine Torquay surveys with other visits in Devon, such as Paignton and Newton Abbot, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Which rules apply in Torquay?
