Fire door replacement in Perth, done to the evidence
When you book fire door replacement in Perth, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Perth protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, small blocks of flats and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We never leave a Perth opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Perth building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
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:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Which fire door rules apply in Perth?
In Perth, 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 Perth
Typical settings for fire door replacement include blocks of flats, schools and HMOs. In Perth, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions
Do you work in Perth?
Yes, we take on fire door replacement in Perth and the surrounding area, including Glenrothes and Dundee. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Perth building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
