It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can I paint over intumescent strips?
Painting over smoke seals stops them working, and heavy paint can affect intumescent strips. Damaged or painted seals should be replaced with the specified type.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
