FD60 fire doors in Galashiels: how we work
We fit FD60 doorsets for compartment walls, cores and plant rooms in Galashiels and the rest of Scottish Borders. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Galashiels is about 14 miles from Hawick. Wherever your building is in TD1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.
Which rules apply in Galashiels?
In Galashiels 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.
FD60 fire doors prices in Galashiels
Expect roughly £1,050–£1,650 per single doorset for FD60 fire doors, fitted, ex VAT. Your Galashiels quote is fixed after survey and itemised door by door.
We show each door's price separately, so if budget is tight you can phase the work and start with the doors your fire risk assessment prioritises.

Common questions in Scottish Borders
Can you work around tenants or staff in Galashiels?
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 you fit just one door in Galashiels?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Scottish Borders.
What does a Galashiels quote include?
Survey, certified doorset, ironmongery, installation, removal of old doors and a handover pack. VAT is added at the standard rate.
Can I use an FD60 door where FD30 is required?
Yes — a higher rating meets a lower requirement — but it is heavier and dearer, so we only recommend it where the location calls for it or you want a margin.
