The fire stopping behind the door
The door is only half the picture. Inside the riser, the services passing through each floor must be fire stopped. That is a separate specialist task. Where we find gaps or missing fire stopping while fitting riser doors, we record it and flag it to you so it can be addressed.
What the rules say for Glasgow
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Glasgow. 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 Glasgow are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

Do you provide riser and cupboard fire doors across Glasgow?

Can I use a standard access panel for a riser?

It should match the fire resistance the strategy requires for the riser enclosure, commonly 30 or 60 minutes. We confirm it before ordering.
