Fire Door Inspections in Stirling

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in Stirling and the FK9 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

In short: a fire door inspection is a documented, door-by-door check that each fire door in a building will still hold back fire and smoke for its rated period. The inspector examines the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing, ironmongery and signage, records what passes and what fails, and photographs every defect.

Fire doors in Stirling's buildings

With a large student population, Stirling has plenty of HMOs and halls, where wedged doors and disconnected closers are common problems. Where a Stirling building has had a recent fire risk assessment, send it over and we will price against its actions.

Fire Door Inspections in Stirling: questions

Does regulation 10 apply in Stirling?

No. Stirling 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.

Do you need to remove the doors?

No. Inspections are non-intrusive. The inspector measures, operates and photographs each door in place and only lifts away removable items such as letter-plate covers where it is safe to do so.

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.

Do you cover the area around Stirling?

Yes. As well as Stirling itself we cover nearby towns including Alloa, Falkirk and Cumbernauld.
