What fire door replacement in East Kilbride should include
When you book fire door replacement in East Kilbride, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
East Kilbride has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, low-rise blocks of flats and industrial estates, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your East Kilbride building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your East Kilbride 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Certified leaf or full doorset
What the rules say for East Kilbride
In East Kilbride, 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 East Kilbride
From offices to schools, the requirement for fire door replacement in East Kilbride 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 East Kilbride
Do you work in East Kilbride?
Yes, we take on fire door replacement in East Kilbride and the surrounding area, including Cambuslang and Rutherglen. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
