Fire Door Installation in Edinburgh & the Lothians: questions
Can you fit a fire door into the existing frame?
Sometimes, if the frame is sound, compatible with the new leaf and the leaf's evidence allows it. Often a complete doorset is cheaper over the door's life and easier to evidence.
What do FD30 and FD60 mean?
They describe how long the door is designed to resist fire in a test: 30 or 60 minutes. An S after the rating, such as FD30S, means the door also controls the passage of cold smoke.
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.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Edinburgh & the Lothians?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Edinburgh & the Lothians can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
