Getting fire door replacement right in Dunbartonshire
Our fire door replacement service runs throughout Dunbartonshire. Main towns include Bearsden, Clydebank and Vale of Leven, and we cover the smaller places in between.
If a door in your Dunbartonshire building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Dunbartonshire building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
Dunbartonshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Dunbartonshire
In Dunbartonshire, 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.

- Review the inspection report or survey each door
- Recommend repair or replacement with reasons
- Order replacements to size
- Remove the old door only when the new one is on site

As a guide, budget £300–£600 for a leaf, £650–£2,400 for a doorset depending on type, ex VAT for fire door replacement. The figure for your Dunbartonshire building depends on the number of doors, the rating, the condition of the frames, finishes, hardware and access. We confirm a fixed price after the free survey.
