Getting fire door replacement right in Hamilton
Our fire door replacement service covers Hamilton and the wider Lanarkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Hamilton has a broad mix of buildings, including HMOs, houses with integral garages and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If your Hamilton building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Hamilton opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
Fire door law for Hamilton properties
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Hamilton. 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 Hamilton are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Common questions
Is Hamilton within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Hamilton in Lanarkshire and neighbouring towns such as Motherwell. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Hamilton?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Can you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
