The opening in Greenwich
Greenwich mixes riverside flats with Victorian terraces. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.
What fails on these doors
Common-stair doors need a proper fire-door set, and ground-floor frames near the river pick up damp at the threshold. 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 Greenwich
The carry in Greenwich 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: greenwich mixes riverside flats with Victorian terraces.
