Fire door repairs and remedial works for Glasgow buildings
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers all of Glasgow, across postcode districts including G1, G69 and G31.
Many repairs in Glasgow can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Glasgow building first and return evidence against each action.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Glasgow can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Glasgow
In Glasgow, 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.

Questions
Do you provide fire door repairs and remedial works across Glasgow?
Yes. We cover all of Glasgow. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
