Fire door repairs and remedial works in Livingston: what's involved
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers Livingston and the wider Edinburgh & the Lothians area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Livingston, fire door work covers everything from high-street shops to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Many repairs in Livingston can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Livingston building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
What can be repaired?
Most defects found on inspection are repairable: replacing damaged intumescent strips and smoke seals, re-fixing or replacing hinges and missing screws, replacing or adjusting closers, fixing latches and keeps, fitting intumescent pads behind hinges and locks, re-glazing with the correct system and correcting minor gap issues where the manufacturer's guidance allows. Some repairs, such as hardwood edge repairs, must follow the manufacturer's method to stay within the evidence.
Each installation includes:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Which fire door rules apply in Livingston?
In Livingston, 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.
