Since anglican and everest say NO to a new front door.
Where do I start to find supply and install new front door (fire Safety standards)
I'm top of 4 floors flat roof 1 bedroom flat.
Anglican eventually said NO and Everest wont go above 2 floors.
thanks

I'd take this as a sign that you shouldn't be getting an overpriced new door on expensive finance.5

I'm not timewasting. But at the very least, people need to be aware that you're reliant on finance as it's going to somewhat reduce the number of suppliers you can go to.Dandytf said:No timewasters please!
If you were not reliant on finance you would be able to use the entire market (and save quite a bit of money too.)0 -

I have since found a local door supplier within a few miles +850 cost range.
Since trying to source a joiner to take in the installation job including cutting letter box etc.
hopefully this succeeds to order new door status.

Not sure if cutting a letterbox in a fire door will invalidate its safety rating. You may be better off with a letterbox screwed to the wall.

Wall letter boxes were external until all were removed and replaced with door letter box's.Slinky said:Not sure if cutting a letterbox in a fire door will invalidate its safety rating. You may be better off with a letterbox screwed to the wall.
I'll make some checks before, thanksReplenished CRA Reports.2020 Nissan Leaf 128-149 miles top charge. Savings depleted. VM Stream tv M250 Volted to M350 then M500 since returned to 1gb0 -
Then any fire rating it had is made redundant by virtue of having a hole cut in it!Dandytf said:
