Which rules apply in Scottish Borders?
Scotland has its own system: new and replacement fire doors in Scottish Borders are designed to the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks (Section 2, Fire). For non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on whoever controls the building.

Communal fire doors in Scottish Borders: questions
How quickly can you survey in Scottish Borders?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine visits with other work in Scottish Borders. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
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.
Can you work around tenants or staff?
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.
Should communal doors be glazed?
Doors across corridors usually need vision panels so people can see who is on the other side. The glass must be tested in that doorset.
