Fire door replacement for Scottish Borders buildings
We provide fire door replacement across Scottish Borders, covering 18 postcode districts from EH38 to TD14.
If a door in your Scottish Borders building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. We never leave a Scottish Borders opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
Scottish Borders 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.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Scottish Borders
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Scottish Borders. 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 Scottish Borders are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
