Commercial fire doors: our service in Tewkesbury
From the GL20 postcode district outwards, we take on commercial fire doors across Tewkesbury for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Tewkesbury, small offices, schools and light industrial buildings all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Offices, shops and hotels in Tewkesbury can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Tewkesbury gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
Working in live premises
We plan commercial installations around trading hours, out-of-hours slots and phased handovers, keeping escape routes protected throughout. You get a clear record per door that your fire risk assessor can use.
Each installation includes:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
