Fire door repairs and remedial works for Edinburgh buildings
We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Edinburgh (EH2 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Edinburgh, clinics, converted flats and hotels all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Many repairs in Edinburgh can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Edinburgh building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
Rules and responsibilities in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Edinburgh.

Questions
Is Edinburgh within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Edinburgh in Edinburgh & the Lothians and neighbouring towns such as Musselburgh. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Edinburgh 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.
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.
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.
