The regulations behind fire doors in Highlands & Islands
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Highlands & Islands. 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 Highlands & Islands are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
