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.
Why glazing is a common failure point
Vision panels are useful on corridors, classrooms and wards, but they are also where many fire doors go wrong. Ordinary glass gets swapped in after a breakage, beads are fixed with the wrong pins, glazing seals are missing, or an aperture has been cut on site with no evidence behind it. Each of these can undermine the whole door. Our fire door glazing guide covers the details.
Rules and responsibilities in Renfrewshire & Inverclyde
In Renfrewshire & Inverclyde, 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.

Glazed fire doors questions
Do you provide glazed fire doors across Renfrewshire & Inverclyde?
Yes. We cover all of Renfrewshire & Inverclyde, including Paisley and Greenock. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Are wired glass fire doors still acceptable?
Some older doors use wired glass. Whether it is acceptable depends on its fire rating and whether it meets safety glazing rules for that location. We advise case by case.
Can any toughened glass go in a fire door?
No. Fire doors need fire-rated glass of the type and size covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the matching beads and seals. Standard toughened glass is not fire resisting.
