Your questions answered

Is the survey in Southampton free?

Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.

What does a Southampton quote include?

Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Southampton?

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.

Can a timber fire door be trimmed on site?

Only within the limits the manufacturer's evidence allows, usually a few millimetres. We prefer made-to-measure doorsets so no trimming is needed.
