Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Broadstairs.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Broadstairs?
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.
