Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Oban?

They 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.

Fire doors always have intumescent seals. Some councils also require smoke seals in HMOs; your licence conditions will say.
