Fire door work in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire & Moray spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
Who pays and who decides?
Flat entrance doors often sit on the boundary between the leaseholder's flat and the freeholder's building. Ownership depends on the lease, and leaseholder consent, landlord consent and Section 20 consultation can all come into it. We work with freeholders, managing agents, housing providers and individual leaseholders, and our responsibility guide covers the common questions.

Flat entrance fire doors questions
Do you provide flat entrance fire doors across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire & Moray?
Yes. We cover all of Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire & Moray, including Aberdeen and Elgin. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Who is responsible for replacing flat front doors?
It depends on the lease. Sometimes the leaseholder owns the door, sometimes the freeholder does. Either way, the replacement has to meet the building's fire strategy, so we can work with whoever commissions it.
Can a flat door have a letterbox?
Only if the letterplate is covered by the doorset's test evidence. A standard letterplate cut into a fire door breaks the rating. Many managing agents choose external post boxes instead.
