Getting stairwell fire doors fitted in Chester
We fit doors onto protected stairs and escape routes in Chester and the rest of Cheshire. 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.
Chester is about 19 miles from Warrington. Wherever your building is in CH1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
