Fire door frames in Cambuslang, done to the evidence
We provide fire door frames in Cambuslang (G73 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Cambuslang range from small blocks of flats to family homes after loft conversions and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Cambuslang survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Cambuslang jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
Why frames fail inspections
Many fire door problems start with the frame: softwood linings too thin for the door, frames cut back to fit a previous door, frames loose in the wall, or gaps behind the architrave stuffed with ordinary foam or left open. A perfect leaf hung in a frame like that cannot be relied on.
On a typical job that means:
- Architraves and making good
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
Which fire door rules apply in Cambuslang?
In Cambuslang, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.
Which buildings in Cambuslang need fire door frames?
You are most likely to need fire door frames if you look after converted houses, older blocks of flats or offices. Whatever the building in Cambuslang, we survey each opening and tell you which doors need work and which do not.

Common questions
Do you cover G73 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Cambuslang including G73, and nearby towns such as Rutherglen and East Kilbride. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Cambuslang?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
