Stairwell & Escape Route Doors for Elgin buildings
We fit doors onto protected stairs and escape routes in Elgin and the rest of Highlands, Moray & Islands. 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 Elgin surveys with other visits in Highlands, Moray & Islands, such as Inverness and Inverurie, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
