Our Birkenhead supply and fit service
We fit doors onto protected stairs and escape routes in Birkenhead and the rest of Merseyside. 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.
Whether your building is in central Birkenhead or on its edges towards Liverpool, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.

Do you cover Birkenhead?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit stairwell fire doors throughout Birkenhead and the rest of Merseyside, including CH41 and nearby Liverpool.
