Composite fire doors in Newport (Gwent), done to the evidence
When you book composite fire doors in Newport (Gwent), the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Newport (Gwent) has a broad mix of buildings, including offices, industrial units and converted period houses, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Newport (Gwent) they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Newport (Gwent) in configurations covered by the product's certification.
What to check before you buy
Composite doors vary widely. The certification must cover the whole doorset as supplied: the core, skin, frame, glazing, letterplate, viewer and every item of hardware. Ask to see the certificate and the installation instructions, and check that the door's configuration, such as a side panel or glazed panel, is actually covered. BS 8214:2026 now includes maintenance guidance for composite and metal doors, reflecting how common they have become.
As standard, the work covers:
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Certificate reference and photo record
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Advice on certified composite products and options
Which fire door rules apply in Newport (Gwent)?
Newport (Gwent) 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.
