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:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
What the rules say for Falkirk
Falkirk 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 Falkirk.

Questions from Falkirk
Do you work in Falkirk?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Falkirk and the surrounding area, including Alloa and Cumbernauld. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.

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.
