Fire door repairs and remedial works in Dundee: what's involved
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers Dundee and the wider Dundee & Angus area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Dundee has a broad mix of buildings, including industrial units, GP surgeries and purpose-built flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Dundee building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Dundee can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
What cannot be repaired
Doors with major splits, burns, delamination, large unapproved holes, or gaps far beyond what the certification allows usually need replacing. Paint and filler cannot fix a structural problem in a fire door.
On a typical job that means:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
The regulations behind fire doors in Dundee
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Dundee. 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 Dundee are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Questions from Dundee
Do you work in Dundee?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Dundee and the surrounding area, including Arbroath and Perth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
