Composite fire doors: our service in Glasgow
Our composite fire doors service covers all of Glasgow, across postcode districts including G1, G69 and G31.
We only fit composite doors in Glasgow in configurations covered by the product's certification. For deck-access blocks in and around Glasgow, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
Glasgow has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
What to check before you buy
Composite doors vary widely. The certification must cover the whole doorset as supplied: the core, skin, frame, glazing, letterplate, viewer and every item of hardware. Ask to see the certificate and the installation instructions, and check that the door's configuration, such as a side panel or glazed panel, is actually covered. BS 8214:2026 now includes maintenance guidance for composite and metal doors, reflecting how common they have become.
Which fire door rules apply in Glasgow?
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Glasgow. 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 Glasgow are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Composite fire doors questions
Do you provide composite fire doors across Glasgow?
Yes. We cover all of Glasgow. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can I add a letterbox to a composite fire door?
Only if the letterplate is part of the certified doorset. Cutting one in afterwards would compromise the door's fire performance.
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.
