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.

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.

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.

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.
