Our Livingston supply and fit service
Getting school fire doors right in Livingston means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Where possible we combine Livingston surveys with other visits in Edinburgh & the Lothians, such as Bathgate and Dunfermline, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
