Flat entrance door programmes in Swadlincote are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Swadlincote, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.

Who pays and who decides?

Flat entrance doors often sit on the boundary between the leaseholder's flat and the freeholder's building. Ownership depends on the lease, and leaseholder consent, landlord consent and Section 20 consultation can all come into it. We work with freeholders, managing agents, housing providers and individual leaseholders, and our responsibility guide covers the common questions.

What you get:

• Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
