Fire door replacement for Livingston buildings
When you book fire door replacement in Livingston, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Livingston, fire door work covers everything from care homes to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If a door in your Livingston building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Livingston building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
After an inspection report
Most replacement work follows a fire door inspection or fire risk assessment. Send us the report and we will price each action, replacement or repair, door by door, so you can prioritise. Our guide to failed inspections explains how to read the findings.
Each installation includes:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Fire door law for Livingston properties
In Livingston, 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.
Which buildings in Livingston need fire door replacement?
From care homes to offices, the requirement for fire door replacement in Livingston 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.
