What composite fire doors in Pontypool should include
If you need composite fire doors in Pontypool, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Pontypool, family homes after loft conversions, care homes and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We only fit composite doors in Pontypool in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Pontypool they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Advice on certified composite products and options
Fire door law for Pontypool properties
Fire door work in Pontypool follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Pontypool, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Questions from Pontypool
Do you work in Pontypool?
Yes, we take on composite fire doors in Pontypool and the surrounding area, including Cwmbran and Risca. 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.
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.
