In Gillingham

Fire door projects in and around Gillingham.

Older properties in Gillingham usually mean the existing frame's out of square by a fair bit. You can't just plane the door down to fit — it stops being a tested set the second you do. We line and pack the frame instead, keep the door spec intact.

An HMO landlord in Gillingham called us after a council visit — seven bedroom doors and a stair door flagged. Turned around inside a week, no tenants moved out, fresh certification handed over.

Why Gillingham

What's specific about fire door work in Gillingham.

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 Gillingham.

Mixed property stock

Gillingham 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 Gillingham 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.

Working around occupants

Most Gillingham jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.
