Getting stairwell fire doors fitted in Rickmansworth
We fit doors onto protected stairs and escape routes in Rickmansworth and the rest of Hertfordshire. 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.
Where possible we combine Rickmansworth surveys with other visits in Hertfordshire, such as Watford and Chalfont St Peter, which helps keep survey dates flexible.

Stairwell fire doors in Rickmansworth: questions
Can you fit just one door in Rickmansworth?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Hertfordshire.
Which rules do stairwell fire doors in Rickmansworth need to meet?
They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Rickmansworth?
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.
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.
