Questions
Is Lytham St Annes within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Lytham St Annes in Lancashire and neighbouring towns such as Blackpool. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Lytham St Annes?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can I fit a new lock to a fire door?
Only one that is covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the correct intumescent protection. A larger lock body or new holes can compromise the door.
Are brass hinges acceptable on fire doors?
Only if they are fire tested and covered by the door's evidence. Many decorative hinges are not.
