The opening in Croydon
Croydon work splits between Victorian terraces and flat entrance doors in larger blocks. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.
What fails on these doors
Terrace linings are out of square; block doors are a fire-door and closer job. A leaf that only binds on that edge is eased. A twisted door, or a hollow skin that is split, is replaced.
Getting the leaf to Croydon
The carry in Croydon follows the street, not a generic drop-off. A 2040mm slab rarely fits in a lift and a van cannot always wait on a red route, so the leaf is carried in and the old door is taken out the same way. The opening itself is this one: croydon work splits between Victorian terraces and flat entrance doors in larger blocks.

A normal internal door in the old lining is not a fire door, and a certified leaf is not trimmed past the maker’s limit.
