Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Widnes.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Widnes?
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.
Can you fit just one door in Widnes?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Cheshire.
Which way should an escape door open?
In the direction of escape where the number of people using it is high — Approved Document B sets the thresholds. Many small-occupancy doors can open either way.
