Composite fire doors for Cwmbran buildings
When you book composite fire doors in Cwmbran, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Cwmbran has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Cwmbran they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Cwmbran, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
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:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Certificate reference and photo record
Which fire door rules apply in Cwmbran?
Cwmbran 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.

Questions from Cwmbran
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.
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 composite fire doors need a closer?
Yes, as flat entrance doors they need a self-closing device that closes and latches them. This can be overhead or concealed, depending on the certified options.
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.
