Common questions in Greater Manchester
Which rules do school fire doors in Manchester need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Manchester?
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.
Can you fit just one door in Manchester?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Greater Manchester.
What size doors do care settings need?
Corridor doors often need leaf-and-a-half or wide single doorsets for beds and wheelchairs. We measure and propose clear widths that suit.
