Regulations for Dumfries and Galloway projects

Scotland Which rules apply?

In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.

For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.

Questions from Dumfries and Galloway clients

Do you fix what you find?

Yes. We provide costed remedial options and can carry out the work.

How long does a survey take?

It depends on the number of glazed elements and access. Most single buildings are surveyed in a day or less.

Is a survey the same as a fire risk assessment?

No. A fire risk assessment looks at the whole premises. A fire glazing survey looks in detail at the glazed elements of the compartmentation.

Do you cover all of Dumfries and Galloway?

Yes. We take enquiries from across Dumfries and Galloway, including Dumfries and the surrounding area, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
