Common questions in Musselburgh

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.

Will I get photos?

Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.

Do you need to remove architraves?

Often, yes. The frame gap is usually hidden behind the architrave, so we remove and refit it to inspect and seal properly.

Do you cover the area around Musselburgh?

Yes. As well as Musselburgh itself we cover nearby towns including Edinburgh, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes.
