Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Ayr
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Ayr, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Ayr protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, schools and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Send us the inspection report for your Ayr building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Ayr building first and return evidence against each action.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
On a typical job that means:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Which fire door rules apply in Ayr?
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Ayr. 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 Ayr 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 KA8 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Ayr including KA8, and nearby towns such as Irvine and Kilmarnock. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Ayr?
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 large gaps around a fire door be fixed?
Sometimes. Small gap problems can often be corrected by adjusting hinges or approved edge repairs. Gaps far beyond the certification usually mean the door or frame must be replaced.
Can I paint over intumescent strips?
Painting over smoke seals stops them working, and heavy paint can affect intumescent strips. Damaged or painted seals should be replaced with the specified type.
