Your questions answered

Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Kettering?

Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Kettering?

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.

Do you remove the old doors?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Kettering.

Do all HMO doors need to be fire doors?

Usually the doors opening onto the escape route — bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms — but not bathrooms in most layouts. Your licensing conditions and risk assessment set the list.
