In Canterbury
What fire door work actually looks like in Canterbury.
If a fire door's already in the building in Canterbury, there's about a 50/50 chance it's failing on something — usually seals, hinge gauge, or the gap at the threshold. Our surveys flag everything with photos, so you know what's actually wrong before deciding to remediate or replace.
Why Canterbury
What's specific about fire door work in Canterbury.
Every area has its own quirks — building age, tenure mix, the kind of assessor activity going on locally. Here's what shapes the work in Canterbury.
Student HMOs and PBSA
Canterbury's big student population means a lot of HMO bedroom-door programmes and purpose-built student accommodation. Vacation windows are tight — we plan installs around lease changeover.
Listed and conservation-area buildings
Plenty of Canterbury buildings are listed or in a conservation area, so fire doors often need to look right as well as perform. Painted finishes, traditional architrave reinstatement, ironmongery that doesn't shout — all part of the spec.
Mixed property stock
Canterbury has the usual mix of older conversions, post-war blocks and newer infill — each demands a slightly different approach to surveying and install, which is why we never quote without seeing the doors.
Tighter assessor scrutiny
Fire risk assessors covering Canterbury are flagging far more door issues than they were a few years ago. Most of our work here starts from a recent FRA action list.
