Fire Door Replacement in Ayrshire: questions
When should a fire door be replaced rather than repaired?
When the leaf or frame is too damaged to repair within what its test evidence allows, when there is no evidence it is a fire door, or when the repair would cost more than a new doorset.
How long does a replacement take?
Most single doorsets are replaced within a day, including making good. Doors are never left unable to close at the end of a working day.
Which fire safety law applies in Ayrshire?
In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.
