Common questions in Tyne and Wear
Can you work around tenants or staff in Sunderland?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Sunderland?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
How quickly can you survey in Sunderland?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Sunderland visits with other work in Tyne and Wear. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Which way should an escape door open?
In the direction of escape where the number of people using it is high — Approved Document B sets the thresholds. Many small-occupancy doors can open either way.
