Stairwell & Escape Route Doors for Bath buildings
We fit doors onto protected stairs and escape routes in Bath and the rest of Somerset. 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.
Bath is one of the main towns we cover in Somerset; tell us your dates and we'll arrange a survey.
