Getting fire rated glazed screens fitted in Scottish Borders
Our Scottish Borders service covers fire rated glazed screens for flats, HMOs, workplaces, schools and homes, including Hawick and Galashiels.
Which rules apply in Scottish Borders?
In Scottish Borders 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.
Cost of fire rated glazed screens in Scottish Borders
Guide prices for fire rated glazed screens in Scottish Borders run from about £1,400 to £4,500 per screen, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
Each quote covers the certified doorset, standard ironmongery, fitting, removal of the old door and a handover record; anything outside that scope is shown as a separate line before you accept.

Your questions answered
Can you fit just one door?
Yes — from a single door to a full building.
Which rules apply in Scottish Borders?
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.
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.
Does a fanlight above a fire door need to be fire-rated?
Yes, if it is part of the fire-resisting wall or door assembly. Ordinary glass above a fire door defeats the door.
