How does the entire job run from start to finish?

The process begins with an on-site inspection to verify structural openings and fire ratings. After manufacturing timber or steel door sets, teams remove old units, fit certified frames, install tested hardware, and seal junctions with intumescent materials. The final stage involves testing self-closing mechanisms and providing certification records.

Which tasks fall outside a standard quotation?

Standard rates cover removing existing leaves, fitting complete tested assemblies, and basic perimeter sealing. Substantial wall repairs, decorative architrave painting, making good damaged plaster around the opening, and integrating electronic access control systems fall outside basic packages because they require separate trades or specialized electrical commissioning.

Do I need special permissions or neighbour notifications beforehand?

Building control sign-off is often required when altering designated escape routes. For flats in managed blocks, freeholder consent and formal party wall notifications might apply. Coordinating corridor access with neighbours remains essential because noisy masonry drilling, dust protection, and blocked communal walkways temporarily impact shared escape paths.

Why would two identical properties have totally different costs?

Pricing varies based on structural framing conditions and required fire integrity duration. A site in Reading with uneven masonry requires bespoke structural subframes and complex smoke seals, whereas plumb openings need standard fixings. Higher acoustic ratings, concealed door closers, and specialized vision panels also raise individual unit costs significantly.
