Communal fire doors in Dundee: how we work
Getting communal fire doors right in Dundee 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 Dundee are booked around your access needs, and we cover the wider Dundee & Angus area too.
Fire door rules in Dundee
In Dundee the building standards come from the Scottish Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Document B, and existing non-domestic premises fall under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005. We specify doorsets against the Scottish requirements and your fire risk assessment.

Your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Dundee?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
Can you fit just one door in Dundee?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Dundee & Angus.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Dundee?
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 communal fire doors be held open?
Only with an approved hold-open or free-swing device linked to the fire alarm. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
