Fire door work in Renfrewshire & Inverclyde 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.
Fire door law for Renfrewshire & Inverclyde properties
Renfrewshire & Inverclyde 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 Renfrewshire & Inverclyde.

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.
