Dumfries FAQs

Will the door still be a certified fire door after repair?

The aim of remedial work is to restore the door's original performance using compatible components and methods. Where a repair would go outside what the door's evidence supports, we will recommend replacement instead.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Dumfries?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Do you work in occupied buildings?

Yes. Most remedial work happens in occupied blocks, schools and workplaces, with doors kept closable and the escape route clear throughout.

Does regulation 10 apply in Dumfries?

No. Dumfries 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.
