Getting commercial fire doors right in Hamilton
Our commercial fire doors service covers Hamilton and the wider Lanarkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Hamilton protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, industrial estates and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Offices, shops and hotels in Hamilton can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Hamilton gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
Doors that look the part and still perform
Commercial interiors often need veneered, laminated or painted finishes, glazing, push plates, kick plates and signage. All of this is possible on a fire door, provided every element is covered by the doorset's certification. We specify the finish and hardware at the outset so nothing has to be improvised on site.
Each installation includes:
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
Which fire door rules apply in Hamilton?
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Hamilton. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Hamilton are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
