Fire door frames in Cumbernauld, done to the evidence
From the G67 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door frames across Cumbernauld for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Cumbernauld has a broad mix of buildings, including high-street shops, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We photograph every frame we fix in Cumbernauld before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Cumbernauld jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Architraves and making good
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
The regulations behind fire doors in Cumbernauld
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Cumbernauld. 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 Cumbernauld are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Common questions
Do you cover G67 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Cumbernauld including G67, and nearby towns such as Airdrie and Coatbridge. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cumbernauld building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can a new frame be fitted to my existing door?
Sometimes, if the frame is compatible with the door's certification. Often it is simpler and better evidenced to replace the whole doorset.
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.
