Stairwell fire doors in Oadby: how we work
We fit doors onto protected stairs and escape routes in Oadby and the rest of Leicestershire. 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 Oadby surveys with other visits in Leicestershire, such as Wigston and Leicester, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
