Common questions in Meikle Earnock

Do you work in occupied buildings in Meikle Earnock?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Meikle Earnock can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Will the inspection tell me whether a door is a genuine fire door?

It records the evidence available: labels, plugs, glazing marks, hardware markings and construction. Where there is no evidence of a fire rating, the report says so, so the fire risk assessor can decide what to do.

Does regulation 10 apply in Meikle Earnock?

No. Meikle Earnock 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.

How long does a fire door inspection take?

Typically 10 to 20 minutes per door, depending on access and how many defects need photographing. A block with 40 communal doors is usually a single day on site.
