Double fire doors for Wrexham buildings
Our double fire doors service covers Wrexham and the wider Clwyd area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Wrexham has a broad mix of buildings, including HMOs, houses with integral garages and low-rise blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Wrexham take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Wrexham is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
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.
What you get:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Commissioning of closing sequence
What the rules say for Wrexham
Fire door work in Wrexham 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 Wrexham, 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 Wrexham
Do you cover LL13 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wrexham including LL13, and nearby towns such as Rhosllannerchrugog and Buckley. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Wrexham building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Why does the gap between the two leaves matter?
The meeting edges are where flame and smoke can pass most easily. The gap and the seals there must match the certification for the pair to perform as tested.
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.
