School fire doors in Carrickfergus: how we work
We fit fire doors for schools, surgeries and care homes in Carrickfergus and the rest of County Antrim. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Whether your building is in central Carrickfergus or on its edges towards Newtownabbey, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
