Flat entrance fire doors: our service in Lanarkshire
We provide flat entrance fire doors across Lanarkshire, covering 9 towns and 19 postcode districts, including East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cumbernauld.
In a block of flats in Lanarkshire, 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 Lanarkshire, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Lanarkshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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 Lanarkshire
In Lanarkshire, 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 Lanarkshire?
Yes. We cover all of Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride and Hamilton. 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.
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.
