Double fire doors in Flint: what's involved
We provide double fire doors in Flint (CH6 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Flint, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Every pair we fit in Flint is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Flint care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
Leaf-and-a-half for wider routes
Leaf-and-a-half doors give a usable everyday opening through the main leaf, with the smaller leaf opened for beds, trolleys or deliveries. They are common in care homes, hospitals and schools. The smaller leaf may be held with flush bolts; any bolts and their positions must be covered by the evidence.
As standard, the work covers:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
Rules and responsibilities in Flint
Because Flint 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 Flint comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions
Do you cover CH6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Flint including CH6, and nearby towns such as Deeside and Buckley. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Flint?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Do both leaves need closers?
Usually, yes. Each leaf of a fire door pair needs to close itself. The closers are sized to each leaf's width and weight.
What does a door coordinator do?
It holds the leaf that must close second until the first leaf has shut, so rebated meeting edges close in the right order and both leaves latch. Without it, the pair can end up open or misaligned.
