Riser cupboard fire doors in Gravesend: questions
Is the survey in Gravesend free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.
What does a Gravesend quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Gravesend?
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.
What rating does a riser door need?
