Job Title: Aluminium Door and Window Fabricator

Location: Unit 3, Birchwood Trade Estate, London Road, Swanley, Kent, BR8 7QD

Salary: £14-£17 per hour

Job Type: Permanent, Full Time

About us:

Established for over 20 years, based in Kent, Next Doors Ltd was founded as a result of a gap in the industry. The founder, Bill Bonds, was disappointed with the poor service from existing national door companies.

We began life as Contract Services, aimed at smaller businesses and customers with nationwide retail and commercial premises that were struggling to find suppliers who would provide real value for money, service and ultimately first-class solutions and services. Contract Services then evolved to Next Doors Ltd.

Today, Next Doors Ltd are not your traditional door company but a problem solver and solution finder to help with your every need. Next Doors offer a personalised and tailored experience to fulfil all your door and window needs, a truly complete service provider. We offer a comprehensive door installation, repair and maintenance service as well as 24 hour emergency support.

In 2022, Next Doors Ltd acquired Ultrastop Window Films and can now offer window film, vinyl, manifestations and graphics in house. See our website by clicking the button below:
