Fire door rules in Sandown

Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Isle of Wight.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Sandown?
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.

Corridor doors often need leaf-and-a-half or wide single doorsets for beds and wheelchairs. We measure and propose clear widths that suit.
