Common questions in Hertfordshire

What does a Hitchin quote include?

Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.

Can you fit just one door in Hitchin?

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

Can you work around tenants or staff in Hitchin?

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 I upgrade my existing HMO doors?

Sometimes, if the doors are solid and suitable and a tested upgrade method is used. Often a new doorset is cheaper overall and easier to evidence.
