Common questions in Suffolk

Can you work around tenants or staff in Stowmarket?

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 Stowmarket?

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

Is the survey in Stowmarket free?

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

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.
