What the law says in Inverness
Scotland has its own system: new and replacement fire doors in Inverness 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.
What do FD30 fire doors cost in Inverness?
Budget around £750 to £1,150 per single doorset for FD30 fire doors supplied and fitted in Inverness, 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.
