In Whickham
The reality of fire door work in Whickham.
Landlords and managing agents around Whickham are getting a much harder time from fire risk assessors than they were five years ago. The paperwork side matters as much as the door itself now, and that's the bit we've made painless.
Why Whickham
What's specific about fire door work in Whickham.
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 Whickham.
Mixed property stock
Whickham 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 Whickham 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 Whickham jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.
