Wanted: recommendation for front door for flat


PeppermintT

Recommended Posts

Hi ED


I am looking for someone who can help me work out how I get a new front door for my flat. The door needs to meet relevant (fire) regulations as my freeholder requires this. (It is probably a good idea anyhow).


My current supplier was due to supply the door we had selected some months ago and is now telling me that "most composite fire door companies in the country are having to retest the fire doors that are supplied (which is a direct action from the Grenfell Tower fire). Most, if not all Composite Fire Door manufacturers are currently not quoting or supplying doors until they have had the retest done."


Any recommdendations on how I get a new front door before the winter really gets going gratefully received. Martindales Ltd have been dragging this out for months.

    • We receive (should receive) 20-30 items of post a week, some subscription magazines, catalogues and (about a third) normal business mail (personal mail is far less frequent, save over Christmas and birthdays).  This tends to arrive in only two (more frequently one) delivery. Magazines are invariably late, often up to a week late. Not good for political weeklies. This has been my 'steady state' position following much worse frequency on the closure of the real ED Delivery Office, and of course Covid. There seems little point in complaining any longer - to anyone. There will be a sudden flurry of mail delivered, of course, in the few days after an MP intervention, and then it falls back into rubbish deliveries. It is a combination of senior management focus on high(er) value parcel and special delivery items (which I do get more regularly) which is a management decision, under-employment (vacancies) of posties and, I believe, extremely poor local management of what resources  Royal Mail actually has in Peckham. I don't now believe it is curable. I do believe that no one in Royal Mail management gives a sh*t!
