Timber fire doors in St Austell: how we work
We fit timber fire doorsets in paint, laminate and veneer in St Austell and the rest of Cornwall. 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.
St Austell is about 14 miles from Truro; we cover both, along with Truro, Newquay and Falmouth.
