Acoustic fire doors in Edinburgh

Our Edinburgh supply and fit service

Getting acoustic fire doors right in Edinburgh means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.

Surveys in Edinburgh are booked around your access needs, and we cover the wider Edinburgh & the Lothians area too.

Regulations for acoustic fire doors in Edinburgh & the Lothians

Fire doors in Edinburgh follow Scottish building standards for new work, with the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 covering duties in workplaces and other non-domestic premises. Shared residential buildings may also be covered by licensing conditions, for example for HMOs.

What do acoustic fire doors cost in Edinburgh?

Budget around £1,100 to £2,000 per single doorset for acoustic fire doors supplied and fitted in Edinburgh, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.

The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.

Your questions answered

Can you fit just one door in Edinburgh?

Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Edinburgh & the Lothians.

What does a Edinburgh quote include?

Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Edinburgh?

Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.

Can existing doors be made acoustic?

Seals can help a little, but significant improvement normally needs an acoustic doorset.
