Composite fire doors in Llanelli, done to the evidence
Our composite fire doors service covers Llanelli and the wider Dyfed 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 Llanelli range from family homes after loft conversions to light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Llanelli they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Llanelli in configurations covered by the product's certification.
How we fit composite doorsets
Composite doorsets are installed strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically set out fixing positions, packing, the sealing of the frame-to-wall gap and threshold details. We set the closer so that it closes and latches the door, test the locks and record everything for your files. Where a resident or freeholder chooses colours, we make sure the chosen option is within the certified range.
What you get:
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
Which fire door rules apply in Llanelli?
Llanelli is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.
Where composite fire doors fit in Llanelli

Questions
Do you cover SA15 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Llanelli including SA15, and nearby towns such as Gorseinon and Swansea. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Llanelli building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can composite fire doors face the weather?
Some are designed for external use on deck-access blocks. The product must be certified for that use and fitted with the right threshold and weather detailing.
Are composite fire doors as good as timber ones?
Both can perform well when they are certified and installed correctly. Composite doors offer low maintenance and colour choice; timber doorsets offer more flexibility on sizes and finishes. The certification and installation matter more than the material.
