Perth & Kinross has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Getting the specification right
The door's certification states the type, size and position of strips and seals: in the frame or the leaf edge, single or double, and whether a combined intumescent and smoke seal is used. Replacements must match. Swapping in a generic strip from a hardware shop can undermine the door's performance.
What the rules say for Perth & Kinross
In Perth & Kinross, 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 intumescent strips and smoke seals across Perth & Kinross?
Yes. We cover all of Perth & Kinross. Surveys and written quotes are free.

No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
How long do seals last?
It depends on use and care. Seals on busy doors wear faster. Regular inspections will show when they need replacing.
