Flat entrance fire doors: our service in Dunbartonshire
Across Dunbartonshire, from Bearsden to Clydebank, we survey, supply and fit flat entrance fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
In a block of flats in Dunbartonshire, each flat's front door is what keeps smoke out of the shared corridor, which is why a working closer matters as much as the door. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Dunbartonshire, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.
Fire door work in Dunbartonshire 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.
Rules and responsibilities in Dunbartonshire
Dunbartonshire is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Dunbartonshire.

Flat entrance fire doors questions
Do you provide flat entrance fire doors across Dunbartonshire?
Yes. We cover all of Dunbartonshire, including Bearsden and Clydebank. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can residents choose the colour of their front door?
Often, within the range the doorset manufacturer offers and within any rules the freeholder sets for the corridor. Factory finishes are better than site painting, which can clog seals and hide labels.
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.
