Composite fire doors: our service in Maesteg
If you need composite fire doors in Maesteg, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Maesteg range from light industrial buildings to small offices and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We only fit composite doors in Maesteg in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Maesteg they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.
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:
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
What the rules say for Maesteg
Because Maesteg 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 Maesteg comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions
Is Maesteg within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Maesteg in Mid Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Briton Ferry. 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.
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.
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.
