Stairwell fire doors in Southport: how we work
For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Southport, we provide doors onto protected stairs and escape routes with one fixed quote. A free survey comes first, then a door-by-door schedule, then installation to the manufacturer's instructions and a handover pack for your records.
Southport is about 16 miles from Liverpool; we cover both, along with Formby, Lytham St Annes and Ormskirk.

Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.
