Communal fire doors in Edinburgh & the Lothians: questions

Do you remove the old doors?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset.

Will I get certificates for the doors fitted?

Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.

Which rules apply in Edinburgh & the Lothians?

Doors are specified to the Scottish Building Standards Technical Handbooks and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.

Do you replace doors while the building is occupied?

Yes. We phase work so escape routes are maintained, and plan each door to be removed and replaced the same day. If that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
