Fire door work in Highlands & Islands 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.
What the rules say for Highlands & Islands
In Highlands & Islands, 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.

Questions
Do you provide flat entrance fire doors across Highlands & Islands?
Yes. We cover all of Highlands & Islands. Surveys and written quotes are free.
How long does a flat door replacement take?
Typically half a day per door, with the flat secure at the end of the visit. We agree access times with residents in advance and keep the corridor clear while we work.
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.
