Fire Door Surveys in the Scottish Borders
Fire Door Surveys throughout the Scottish Borders, scheduled by postcode district to keep travel costs down.
Fire Door Surveys: A fire door survey is a more detailed version of an inspection, used when you need to plan and budget: it grades every defect by urgency, decides whether each door should be repaired, upgraded or replaced, and turns the findings into a costed schedule of works.

How does it work in the Scottish Borders?
Brief
We agree what the survey is for, which doors are in scope and the format of the outputs.
Survey
Each door is inspected, measured where needed and photographed, with defects graded on site.
Schedule
Findings become a costed schedule: repair, upgrade or replace, door by door.
Review
We walk you through the priorities and can turn the schedule into a fixed-price programme of works.
What the law requires in the Scottish Borders
Fire doors in the Scottish Borders sit under Scotland's own regime, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005, rather than the English regulation 10 schedule; many factors still run quarterly checks as good practice.
- Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and 2006 regulations: workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises
- Private blocks: common parts largely outside the Act; title deeds and Scottish Government guidance apply
- Scottish building standards for new and altered doors
- Regulation 10's fixed schedule is England-only

Fire Door Surveys in the Scottish Borders: questions
What is the difference between a fire door inspection and a survey?
An inspection records whether each door passes or fails. A survey goes further: it grades each defect, recommends repair, upgrade or replacement, and costs the work so you can budget.
Can you survey a whole portfolio?
Yes. Multi-site surveys are scheduled building by building and delivered as one register so you can compare buildings.
Which fire safety law applies in the Scottish Borders?
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.
Do you work in occupied buildings in the Scottish Borders?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in the Scottish Borders can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
