Getting fire door replacement right in Oadby
Our fire door replacement service covers Oadby and the wider Leicestershire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Oadby, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If a door in your Oadby building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Oadby building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
Minimal disruption
We never leave an opening without a door. Replacements are scheduled so the new door is on site before the old one comes out, and each opening is finished, tested and photographed the same day wherever possible.
As standard, the work covers:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
