Fire Door Repairs in Kirkcaldy

From the KY2 district outwards, we cover Kirkcaldy and neighbouring towns such as Glenrothes and Edinburgh for fire door repairs.

A fire door repair fixes a specific fault on a fire door, such as a broken closer, missing seal, loose hinge or damaged edge, so the door can again close, latch and resist fire and smoke as it was designed to. We use the same method for buildings in Kirkcaldy.

Common questions in Kirkcaldy

Does regulation 10 apply in Kirkcaldy?

No. Kirkcaldy 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.

Can you fill a large gap with extra intumescent strip?

Not as a general fix. Gaps outside tolerance are usually corrected by re-hanging, lipping or adjusting the frame, because oversized intumescent strips are not a substitute for a door that fits.

Can you repair a fire door from photos?

We can usually diagnose and price common faults from clear photos of the whole door, the edges and the hardware. Some faults, such as a warped leaf, need a site visit to measure.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Kirkcaldy?

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.
