Questions about riser cupboard fire doors in Skelmersdale
Can you work around tenants or staff in Skelmersdale?
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.

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Lancashire.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Skelmersdale.
What rating does a riser door need?
