Certified school fire doors for Ilkeston
We fit fire doors for schools, surgeries and care homes in Ilkeston and the rest of Derbyshire. 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 Ilkeston or on its edges towards Heanor, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
