Integral garage fire doors for Highlands & Islands buildings
Our integral garage fire doors service covers all of Highlands & Islands, across postcode districts including HS1, ZE3 and IV52.
We fit garage fire doors in Highlands & Islands with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. For homes in Highlands & Islands with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
Wherever your building is in Highlands & Islands, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
What we fit
We fit a certified FD30S doorset or leaf with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closer set to close and latch the door without slamming, and a threshold detail that keeps the smoke seal effective. We can match the style of your other internal doors where the certified range allows.
Fire door law for Highlands & Islands properties
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Highlands & Islands. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Highlands & Islands are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
