Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Perth
If you need fire door repairs and remedial works in Perth, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Perth has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, care homes and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Send us the inspection report for your Perth building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. Many repairs in Perth can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Rules and responsibilities in Perth
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Perth. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Perth are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
Which buildings in Perth need fire door repairs and remedial works?
Typical settings for fire door repairs and remedial works include offices, blocks of flats and care homes. In Perth, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Common questions
Do you work in Perth?
Yes, we take on fire door repairs and remedial works in Perth and the surrounding area, including Glenrothes and Dundee. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Perth?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
