Fire doors in Bathgate protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, care homes and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Flat entrance door programmes in Bathgate are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Bathgate, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
- Self-closer set to close and latch
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
