Composite fire doors: our service in Lanarkshire
Whether your building is in East Kilbride, Hamilton or a smaller place in Lanarkshire, we can provide composite fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Lanarkshire they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Lanarkshire in configurations covered by the product's certification.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Lanarkshire 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.
Fire door law for Lanarkshire properties
Lanarkshire 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 Lanarkshire.

Common questions
Do you provide composite fire doors across Lanarkshire?
Yes. We cover all of Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride and Hamilton. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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 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.
