Fire Door Maintenance
in Glasgow & Central Scotland
BM TRADA Q-Mark accredited fire door maintenance across Glasgow and Central Scotland. From reactive repairs to planned maintenance programmes, we keep your fire doors compliant, functional, and ready to perform when it matters most.
Your Legal Duty to Maintain Fire Doors
The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place a clear duty on those responsible for non-domestic premises — including Glasgow landlords, property managers, employers, and housing associations — to maintain fire safety measures in an effective condition. Allowing fire doors to fall into disrepair, even unintentionally, constitutes a failure to meet your legal obligations.
For HMO landlords in Glasgow, this obligation is directly enforced through the HMO licensing process. Glasgow City Council conducts joint inspections with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, and poorly maintained fire doors can result in licence conditions, remedial notices, or licence refusal. Regular maintenance, with documentation to prove it, is the most effective way to protect your position.
What Our Maintenance Service Includes
Our BM TRADA-accredited technicians carry out the following on every fire door:
- Inspect and replace worn or missing intumescent strips and cold smoke seals
- Adjust or replace door closers to ensure full, unassisted closure of the latch
- Check and replace hinges to ensure correct alignment and load-bearing performance
- Inspect and repair frames where damage or movement affects fire resistance
- Restore correct gap tolerances — typically 3mm to 4mm around the door
- Inspect and replace glazing beads, fire-rated glass, and seals where required
- Check ironmongery, including locks, latches, and lever handles
- Provide a written record of all work for your compliance documentation

Planned Maintenance Programmes Across Central Scotland
For housing associations, property managers, and facilities managers responsible for multiple buildings across Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, and Stirlingshire, we offer planned preventative maintenance programmes. These structured schedules are tailored to your estate — ensuring every fire door is maintained at the right frequency with a consistent, auditable compliance record across your entire portfolio. Organisations such as registered social landlords and local authority housing teams managing large stocks of flatted and tenement properties across the Central Scotland region will find this approach significantly more cost-effective than managing maintenance on an ad hoc basis.
