Certified timber fire doors for Durham
We fit timber fire doorsets in paint, laminate and veneer in Durham and the rest of County Durham. 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.
Durham is about 17 miles from Darlington. Wherever your building is in DH1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
