Fire door replacement for Dundee buildings
Our fire door replacement service in Dundee is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Dundee, fire door work covers everything from offices to HMOs. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If your Dundee building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Dundee building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Repair or replace?
Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.
Each installation includes:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
Fire door law for Dundee properties
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Dundee. 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 Dundee are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
Which buildings in Dundee need fire door replacement?
The need for fire door replacement usually arises in HMOs or blocks of flats, and sometimes schools. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Dundee to keep escape routes protected throughout.
