Working with your builder and building control
We can work as a subcontractor to your loft conversion builder or directly for you.

Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own guidance on escape from upper floors; we check which applies to your home.

- Check of which openings need fire doors
- Fire-tested hinges and intumescent strips as required

What the rules say for Livingston
Livingston 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 Livingston.

Questions
Do you cover EH54 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Livingston including EH54, and nearby towns such as Bathgate and Dunfermline. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Livingston?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can you match my existing doors?
Certified fire doors come in many styles, including panelled and cottage designs, so a close match is usually possible.
Can I just add intumescent strips to my existing doors?
Generally no. A standard internal door is not a fire door, and strips alone will not make it one. Existing doors need to be replaced with certified fire doors.
