We phase communal door replacements in Arbroath so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme. The evidence pack for each communal door in Arbroath is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets.
Pairs, vision panels and robust finishes
We fit single, double and leaf-and-a-half communal doors, with vision panels in tested glazing systems and finishes chosen to stand up to use, such as laminates and kick plates covered by the certification. For pairs, the meeting edges, rebates and any door coordinator must match the evidence; see our double fire doors page.

The regulations behind fire doors in Arbroath
In Arbroath, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.

Common questions
Do you work in Arbroath?
Yes, we take on communal fire doors in Arbroath and the surrounding area, including Dundee and Glenrothes. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Will the stairs be out of use while you work?
No. We phase the work so that each route stays protected and usable, replacing doors one section at a time and never leaving an opening without a door at the end of the day.
How often should communal fire doors be checked?
In England, every three months for residential buildings above 11 metres under regulation 10. Your fire risk assessment may set other frequencies for other buildings and nations.
