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.
Why riser doors get overlooked
Service riser doors are small, often hidden and rarely opened, so they are easy to forget until an inspection finds them. Common faults include cheap access panels that are not fire rated, missing seals, broken locks and doors that have been removed for access and never refitted. A riser runs through every floor, so a weak door can let fire or smoke bypass the building's compartments.
Rules and responsibilities in Perth & Kinross
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Perth & Kinross. 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.

Residential common parts in Perth & Kinross are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.
