Composite fire doors for Forth Valley buildings
Across Forth Valley, from Stirling to Falkirk, we survey, supply and fit composite fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
For deck-access blocks in and around Forth Valley, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Forth Valley in configurations covered by the product's certification.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Forth Valley can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
How we fit composite doorsets
Composite doorsets are installed strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically set out fixing positions, packing, the sealing of the frame-to-wall gap and threshold details. We set the closer so that it closes and latches the door, test the locks and record everything for your files. Where a resident or freeholder chooses colours, we make sure the chosen option is within the certified range.
What the rules say for Forth Valley
Forth Valley is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Forth Valley.

Questions
Do you provide composite fire doors across Forth Valley?
Yes. We cover all of Forth Valley, including Stirling and Falkirk. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Are composite fire doors as good as timber ones?
Both can perform well when they are certified and installed correctly. Composite doors offer low maintenance and colour choice; timber doorsets offer more flexibility on sizes and finishes. The certification and installation matter more than the material.
Do composite fire doors need a closer?
Yes, as flat entrance doors they need a self-closing device that closes and latches them. This can be overhead or concealed, depending on the certified options.
