Common questions in Edinburgh

How long does each door take?

Most doors take one to three hours. Gap correction or glazing work can take longer, and doors are made safe before we leave each day.

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.

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.

Can you price remedial work in Edinburgh from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Edinburgh, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
