Fire Door Installation in Edinburgh

From the EH2 district outwards, we cover Edinburgh and neighbouring towns such as Musselburgh and Kirkcaldy for fire door installations.

Fire door installation is the supply and fitting of a fire-resisting door, ideally as a complete doorset of leaf, frame, seals and hardware, installed exactly as its test evidence and the manufacturer's instructions require, so the finished door performs as tested. We use the same method for buildings in Edinburgh.

Common questions in Edinburgh

Does regulation 10 apply in Edinburgh?

No. Edinburgh 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 cover the area around Edinburgh?

Yes. As well as Edinburgh itself we cover nearby towns including Musselburgh, Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline.

Do you provide paperwork?

Yes. You receive the product's certification or test evidence, an installation record and photographs for each door.

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.
