Stairwell fire doors in Weston-super-Mare

Stairwell fire doors in Weston-super-Mare: how we work

We fit doors onto protected stairs and escape routes in Weston-super-Mare 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.

Whether your building is in central Weston-super-Mare or on its edges towards Burnham-on-Sea, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.
