Composite fire doors: our service in Gorseinon
Looking for composite fire doors in Gorseinon? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Gorseinon and the wider West Glamorgan area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Gorseinon, small offices, light industrial buildings and care homes 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 Gorseinon in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Gorseinon 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
What the rules say for Gorseinon
Gorseinon 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.

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.

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.
