Getting commercial fire doors right in Cardiff
From the CF10 postcode district outwards, we take on commercial fire doors across Cardiff for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Cardiff protect escape routes in clinics, shared houses and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For commercial buildings in Cardiff, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Cardiff gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
Doors that look the part and still perform
Commercial interiors often need veneered, laminated or painted finishes, glazing, push plates, kick plates and signage. All of this is possible on a fire door, provided every element is covered by the doorset's certification. We specify the finish and hardware at the outset so nothing has to be improvised on site.
On a typical job that means:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Glazed and solid options to certification
The regulations behind fire doors in Cardiff
Because Cardiff is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Cardiff comes from your fire risk assessment.

In Cardiff, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
