Falkirk FAQs

Can I just stick new seals over the old ones?

No. Seals should be fitted into the groove after the old seal is removed, in the size and type the door was tested with.

Do you cover the area around Falkirk?

Yes. As well as Falkirk itself we cover nearby towns including Alloa, Cumbernauld and Bathgate.

Does regulation 10 apply in Falkirk?

No. Falkirk 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 new seals fix a door with big gaps?

No. Seals only work within the gap they were tested with. Gaps outside tolerance need the door adjusting first.
