What does it cost in Northern Ireland?
We price communal area refurbishment in Northern Ireland after a survey rather than from a guide range, because the scope of floors, lighting, door entry and fire safety items varies from block to block. Send us the details and we will arrange a visit.
How do we deliver it?
We plan and phase works so residents can get in and out safely, and our method statements prohibit wedging fire doors open or leaving them off their closers.
