Fire door replacement in Lanarkshire: what's involved
Whether your building is in East Kilbride, Hamilton or a smaller place in Lanarkshire, we can provide fire door replacement with the same evidence-led approach.
If a door in your Lanarkshire building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your Lanarkshire building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
Lanarkshire 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.
What the rules say for Lanarkshire
Lanarkshire is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Lanarkshire.
The steps on a Lanarkshire installation
- Review the inspection report or survey each door
