How quickly can you attend?

It depends on location and time of day. Tell us how urgent the situation is and we will give you a firm time when you call, rather than a promise we cannot keep.

Is a temporary repair enough?

A make-safe gets the door closing and latching. It is recorded as temporary until a permanent repair or replacement restores the door's certified performance.

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Swanley is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
