Common questions in Edinburgh

What happens to the old doors?

They are removed from site and disposed of responsibly.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Edinburgh?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Edinburgh can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.
