Common questions in Kilmarnock

Can you price remedial work in Kilmarnock from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Kilmarnock, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Which fire safety law applies in Kilmarnock?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

Are cat flaps allowed in fire doors?

Not unless the flap is part of the door's tested design. A cat flap cut into a fire door, including many flat entrance doors, will normally make it non-compliant.

Can I fit any lock to a fire door?

No. The lock must be suitable for fire doors and fitted within the size limits of the door's evidence, often with intumescent protection around the mortice.
