Common questions in Hampshire
How quickly can you survey in Southampton?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Southampton visits with other work in Hampshire. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Southampton?
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.
Do you cover Southampton?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit school fire doors throughout Southampton and the rest of Hampshire, including SO14 and nearby Hythe.
Can we stop staff wedging fire doors open?
Alarm-linked hold-open devices or free-swing closers remove the need to wedge doors and close them automatically in a fire.
