Commercial fire doors: our service in Cwmbran
Our commercial fire doors service covers Cwmbran and the wider Gwent area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Buildings in and around Cwmbran range from care homes to houses with integral garages and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Each commercial door we fit in Cwmbran gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Cwmbran can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
Access control and hold-opens
Modern offices and hotels often combine fire doors with access control, electric locks and hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm. Electric locking on an escape route has to release safely, and any holes, cables and devices in the door must be covered by the evidence. We coordinate with your security and fire alarm contractors on the interfaces.
What you get:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Access control and electric locking interfaces

Common questions
Is Cwmbran within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Cwmbran in Gwent and neighbouring towns such as Pontypool. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Cwmbran?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can fire doors have access control?
Yes, if the electric locks, readers and cabling are covered by the door's certification and the locking releases safely for escape. We coordinate with your security contractor.
Who is responsible for fire doors in a commercial building?
The responsible person under the fire safety law for that nation, usually the employer, owner or occupier. Leases often share duties between landlord and tenant.
