Ickenham is mostly houses, so most of what we do here is small.
A couple of small blocks, a few flats above a parade, a surgery or an office. We are not going to say there is a big building here that needs us. If you have a few doors, we will still come.
What small jobs look like
A landlord with a house let to four people has about ten doors. We do that in a morning.
A freeholder of a small block of six flats needs the stair door, the flat entrance doors and any plant or bin store off the stair. We do that in a morning or a day, depending on access.
A small office has a stair door, a kitchen door and the main entrance. We do that in an hour or so.
How we price small jobs
Short visits do not cost much less than longer ones, because the drive from Luton is the same. We try to make up for that by pairing Ickenham with a nearby job in Uxbridge or Ruislip, and where that works the price is lower.
Tell us what you have and we will say if there is a visit already planned near you.
Same checks as a large building
The checks do not change with size. Gap at the head, hinge side, closing side and bottom. Hinges and their screws. The closer. Seals. Glass. A label if there is one.
The photos are the same too, and so is the report.
Which fire service
Ickenham is in the London Borough of Hillingdon, so London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue authority.
Questions we get asked
Is it worth inspecting only three or four doors?
If those are the doors that protect an escape route, yes. They are the ones the rest of the building relies on.
Can you look at a door I have already had repaired?
Yes. We check that the repair has left the door closing and latching, and that the gaps are right.
Send the postcode and a rough number of doors. A price comes back the same day.
