Composite fire doors in Perth, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Perth, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Perth has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Perth they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Perth, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
What the rules say for Perth
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Perth. 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 Perth are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
Who needs composite fire doors in Perth?
From deck-access blocks to housing association estates, the requirement for composite fire doors in Perth comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Do you cover PH2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Perth including PH2, and nearby towns such as Glenrothes and Dundee. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Perth?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
