What composite fire doors in Caerphilly should include
From the CF83 postcode district outwards, we take on composite fire doors across Caerphilly for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Caerphilly has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Caerphilly they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Caerphilly in configurations covered by the product's certification.
Where do composite fire doors make sense?
Composite doorsets are widely used as flat entrance doors, both inside corridors and on external deck-access walkways where the door faces the weather. Their factory finish avoids repainting, which matters because paint build-up is a common reason seals stop working. Many products also offer security features alongside the fire rating.
Each installation includes:
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Certificate reference and photo record
What the rules say for Caerphilly
Because Caerphilly 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 Caerphilly comes from your fire risk assessment.

Common questions
Do you work in Caerphilly?
Yes, we take on composite fire doors in Caerphilly and the surrounding area, including Risca and Pontypridd. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
Can I add a letterbox to a composite fire door?
Only if the letterplate is part of the certified doorset. Cutting one in afterwards would compromise the door's fire performance.
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.
