Fire door frames for Glasgow buildings
Our fire door frames service covers all of Glasgow, across postcode districts including G1, G69 and G31.
Frame-to-wall gaps on Glasgow jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out. In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Glasgow survey.
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.
Frames on their own
Where a leaf is sound but the frame is not, a new compatible frame can sometimes be fitted to the existing leaf, provided the combination is supported by the leaf's certification. More often, a frame replacement is part of a doorset installation.
Fire door law for Glasgow properties
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.

Budgeting for fire door frames in Glasgow
If you need a budget figure first, the guide for fire door frames is £250–£600 per frame replaced, fixed and sealed, ex VAT. We firm that up after a survey, pricing each door separately so you can see where the money goes.
Questions
Do you provide fire door frames across Glasgow?
Yes. We cover all of Glasgow. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can I use expanding foam around a fire door frame?
Only a fire-rated foam with evidence for that use and gap size. Ordinary expanding foam is not suitable.
Why do you photograph the frame before fitting architraves?
Because the fixing and sealing are hidden once the architraves go on. Photographs give you evidence that the hidden work was done correctly.
