Fire door frames for Perth buildings
From the PH2 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door frames across Perth for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Perth, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We photograph every frame we fix in Perth before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Perth 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.
Each installation includes:
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Architraves and making good
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
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.
Where fire door frames fit in Perth
The need for fire door frames usually arises in older blocks of flats or schools, and sometimes converted houses. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Perth to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions
Is Perth within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Perth in Perth & Kinross and neighbouring towns such as Glenrothes. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
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.
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.
