Towcester is on Watling Street, as Stony Stratford is. It was a Roman settlement, and the road still runs through it.
It is in Northamptonshire, not Buckinghamshire. That changes who your fire service is.
Who deals with fire safety here
West Northamptonshire Council is the local authority. Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service covers the town.
The law on fire doors is the same as in Milton Keynes. If you have had a letter or visit from them, send us the notice and we will work from it.
Pubs, offices and units
Silverstone is a few miles away, and race weekends can fill the area. A pub or hotel with every room taken is no place for a carpenter.
We would rather book the week before or after an event than work in a place where every room is taken.
Offices and small commercial units are the other common call. A fire door often separates a workshop from an office, or an office from a stair. Those get less attention than they should.
The faults
Closers that have been disconnected because the door was in the way. Gaps at the bottom, where the floor changed and the door was cut. Seals painted or missing.
All of these show on a report, and we put them right.
A hotel example
We surveyed 129 fire doors in a hotel in Reading. Anywhere with rooms off a corridor is the same: trolleys and bags hit the doors at one height, so seals go missing at that height.
A hotel or inn wants the work done a floor at a time, with the corridor kept clear for guests.
Practical
We drive from Luton and book full days on site. Towcester is further out than most of our Milton Keynes work, so we like a few doors together.
Questions we get asked
Is the fire service here different from Milton Keynes?
Yes. Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Towcester.
Can you do a single door?
We can look at it. A visit from Luton is priced as a visit, so a few doors suit better.
Send the list with the postcode. We will come back with a price for each door.
