What communal fire doors in Swansea should include
Our communal fire doors service covers Swansea and the wider West Glamorgan area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Swansea protect escape routes in clinics, schools and purpose-built blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We phase communal door replacements in Swansea so every escape route stays protected throughout the programme. The evidence pack for each communal door in Swansea is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets.
How do you work in an occupied building?
Escape routes have to stay usable. We phase communal door work so that no stair or corridor is left without protection overnight, keep a doorset ready to fit before removing the old one, and agree working hours with the building manager. Where a hold-open device is needed, we coordinate with your fire alarm contractor for the release interface.
As standard, the work covers:
- Phased programme keeping escape routes protected
- Closers, coordinators and hold-opens as required
- Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records
- Tested vision panels and durable finishes
Fire door law for Swansea properties
Because Swansea 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 Swansea comes from your fire risk assessment.
Which buildings in Swansea need communal fire doors?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Swansea can all commission communal fire doors from us. The usual settings are blocks of flats and hotels, though single doors for sheltered and supported housing are just as welcome.

Questions from Swansea
Do you cover SA1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Swansea including SA1, and nearby towns such as Briton Ferry and Gorseinon. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Do communal doors need vision panels?
Not always, but they are common on cross-corridor and lobby doors so people can see who is coming the other way. Any glazing has to be fire-rated and fitted in a tested system.
Will the stairs be out of use while you work?
No. We phase the work so that each route stays protected and usable, replacing doors one section at a time and never leaving an opening without a door at the end of the day.
