Composite fire doors for Inverness buildings
Looking for composite fire doors in Inverness? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Inverness and the wider Highlands & Islands area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Inverness, houses with integral garages, small offices and light industrial buildings all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
For deck-access blocks in and around Inverness, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Inverness in configurations covered by the product's certification.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Advice on certified composite products and options
The regulations behind fire doors in Inverness
Inverness 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 Inverness.

Questions
Do you cover IV1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Inverness including IV1, and nearby towns such as Elgin and Perth. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
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.
Can composite fire doors face the weather?
Some are designed for external use on deck-access blocks. The product must be certified for that use and fitted with the right threshold and weather detailing.
