Our St Helens supply and fit service
We fit fire doors for schools, surgeries and care homes in St Helens and the rest of Merseyside. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
St Helens is about 11 miles from Liverpool; we cover both, along with Prescot, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Huyton.
