What certified fire doorsets in Forth Valley should include
Across Forth Valley, from Stirling to Falkirk, we survey, supply and fit certified fire doorsets for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Forth Valley, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Every doorset we fit in Forth Valley is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.
Forth Valley 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.
What does third-party certification mean?
Third-party certification means an independent body has checked the product's test evidence and audits the factory that makes it. Certified products carry a label or plug on the door edge and a certificate you can check. Buyers often look for schemes such as BWF Certifire or BM TRADA Q-Mark when choosing products. Our guide to certified doorsets explains how to read the label and certificate.
Which fire door rules apply in Forth Valley?
In Forth Valley, 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.

Certified fire doorsets questions
Do you provide certified fire doorsets across Forth Valley?
Yes. We cover all of Forth Valley, including Stirling and Falkirk. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can a doorset be fitted into an existing opening?
Usually, yes. Doorsets are made to fit the structural opening once the old frame is removed. We measure the opening on the survey so the doorset is made to the right size and the gaps to the wall stay within what the evidence allows.
How long do doorsets take to arrive?
Lead times depend on the manufacturer, size, finish and ironmongery. Standard sizes can be quick; bespoke sizes and finishes take longer. We give you the lead time with the quote and confirm it at order.
