In Leith Walk
The reality of fire door work in Leith Walk.
Older properties in Leith Walk usually mean the existing frame's out of square by a fair bit. You can't just plane the door down to fit — it stops being a tested set the second you do. We line and pack the frame instead, keep the door spec intact.
Why Leith Walk
What's specific about fire door work in Leith Walk.
Every area has its own quirks — building age, tenure mix, the kind of assessor activity going on locally. Here's what shapes the work in Leith Walk.
Scottish Building Standards
Fire door work in Leith Walk sits under Scottish technical standards rather than Approved Document B. Same physics, different paperwork — we keep the certification format right for Scottish FRAs and factors.
Mixed property stock
Leith Walk has the usual mix of older conversions, post-war blocks and newer infill — each demands a slightly different approach to surveying and install, which is why we never quote without seeing the doors.
Tighter assessor scrutiny
Fire risk assessors covering Leith Walk are flagging far more door issues than they were a few years ago. Most of our work here starts from a recent FRA action list.
Working around occupants
Most Leith Walk jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.
