Getting certified fire doorsets right in Lanarkshire
For certified fire doorsets anywhere in Lanarkshire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering East Kilbride, Hamilton, Cumbernauld and the rest of the county.
Every doorset we fit in Lanarkshire is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing. Pre-hung doorsets keep disruption down in occupied buildings in Lanarkshire, with less cutting and fewer return visits.
Wherever your building is in Lanarkshire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
Why choose a doorset over a door leaf?
A fire door's rating belongs to the assembly that was tested, not to the leaf on its own. When a certified leaf is hung in an old frame with mismatched hinges and seals, nobody can say with confidence how it will perform. A doorset arrives with the frame, gaps and ironmongery already matched, so the installer's job is to fix it correctly into the opening and seal it to the structure.
Doorsets also cut time on site, which matters in occupied buildings: less cutting, less dust and fewer return visits.
What the rules say for Lanarkshire
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Lanarkshire. 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 Lanarkshire are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Questions
Do you provide certified fire doorsets across Lanarkshire?
Yes. We cover all of Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride and Hamilton. 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.
Are doorsets more expensive than a leaf?
The product costs more, but the labour is often lower and the result is better evidenced. Where a frame would need replacing anyway, a doorset is usually the better value.
