Fire door repairs and remedial works for Inverness buildings
We provide fire door repairs and remedial works in Inverness (IV1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Inverness range from schools to family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Many repairs in Inverness can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Inverness 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:
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Before-and-after photos per door
Which fire door rules apply in Inverness?
In Inverness, 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.
Which buildings in Inverness need fire door repairs and remedial works?
You are most likely to need fire door repairs and remedial works if you look after care homes, blocks of flats or offices. Whatever the building in Inverness, we survey each opening and tell you which doors need work and which do not.

Questions from Inverness
Do you cover IV1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Inverness including IV1, and nearby towns such as Elgin and Perth. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Inverness 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.
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.
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.
