What fire door replacement in Bathgate should include
Our fire door replacement service covers Bathgate and the wider Edinburgh & the Lothians area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Bathgate protect escape routes in care homes, small blocks of flats and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Bathgate building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Bathgate opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Rules and responsibilities in Bathgate
In Bathgate, 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Bathgate
From offices to care homes, the requirement for fire door replacement in Bathgate comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions from Bathgate
Is Bathgate within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bathgate in Edinburgh & the Lothians and neighbouring towns such as Livingston. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can you replace just the door and keep the frame?
Yes, if the frame is sound and compatible with the new leaf's certification. If not, we replace the whole doorset.
How do I know if a fire door needs replacing?
A competent inspection will tell you. Typical reasons are serious damage, gaps that cannot be corrected, no evidence the door is a fire door, or unapproved alterations such as new holes or glazing.
