Getting school fire doors fitted in Edinburgh
We fit fire doors for schools, surgeries and care homes in Edinburgh and the rest of Edinburgh & the Lothians. 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.
Surveys in Edinburgh are booked around your access needs, and we cover the wider Edinburgh & the Lothians area too.
Which rules apply in Edinburgh?
Scotland has its own system: new and replacement fire doors in Edinburgh 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 school fire doors cost in Edinburgh?
Guide prices for school fire doors in Edinburgh run from about £1,100 to £2,400 per doorset, 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.
