Timber fire doors in Gillingham: how we work
Need timber fire doors in Gillingham? We supply and fit complete certified doorsets across Kent, starting with a free measure survey in and around ME7. Every quote lists each door, its rating and the manufacturer's certificate reference, so you know exactly what is going in before anything is ordered.
Gillingham is about 9 miles from Maidstone. Wherever your building is in ME7, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.

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.
Is the survey in Gillingham free?

For FD30 and FD60 in most buildings, yes. Steel suits plant areas, high security and longer ratings.
