Your questions answered
Can you fit just one door in Sittingbourne?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Kent.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Sittingbourne?
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.
What does a Sittingbourne quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Can any fire door be made secure?
Adding security hardware to a fire door without evidence can void its fire rating. Choose a doorset certified for both.
