Many repairs in Dumfries can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Dumfries building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
Rules and responsibilities in Dumfries
In Dumfries, 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.

Common questions
Do you cover DG1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Dumfries including DG1, and nearby towns such as Carlisle and Workington. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Dumfries 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.
How quickly can remedials be done?
Many defects can be fixed in one visit once components are on site. We prioritise the most serious safety issues first.
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.
