Fire door replacement: our service in Dumfries & Galloway
Our fire door replacement service covers all of Dumfries & Galloway, across postcode districts including DG1, DG16 and DG8.
If a door in your Dumfries & Galloway building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. We never leave a Dumfries & Galloway opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
Fire door work in Dumfries & Galloway spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
Minimal disruption
We never leave an opening without a door. Replacements are scheduled so the new door is on site before the old one comes out, and each opening is finished, tested and photographed the same day wherever possible.
The regulations behind fire doors in Dumfries & Galloway
In Dumfries & Galloway, 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.
