Urgent Fire Door Repairs in Edinburgh & the Lothians: questions
What if the door cannot be made safe?
We will advise on immediate measures and inform the responsible person so the fire risk assessor can decide on interim arrangements.
Is a temporary repair enough?
A make-safe gets the door closing and latching. It is recorded as temporary until a permanent repair or replacement restores the door's certified performance.
Does regulation 10 apply in Edinburgh & the Lothians?
No. Edinburgh & the Lothians is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.
