Fire Door Replacement in Musselburgh

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Musselburgh, our fire door replacements follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

Fire door replacement means removing a door that can no longer be repaired to its certified standard, or that was never a fire door, and installing a new fire-resisting doorset in its place. We use the same method for buildings in Musselburgh.

Questions from Musselburgh clients

What happens to the old doors?

They are removed from site and disposed of responsibly.

Does regulation 10 apply in Musselburgh?

No. Musselburgh 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.

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 quickly can you inspect fire doors in Musselburgh?

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.
