Double fire doors: our service in Ammanford
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Ammanford, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Ammanford has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, small offices and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Every pair we fit in Ammanford is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Ammanford 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.
What you get:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Closers matched to each leaf
What the rules say for Ammanford
Ammanford 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.

Questions from Ammanford
Do you work in Ammanford?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Ammanford and the surrounding area, including Gorseinon and Llanelli. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Ammanford?
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.
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.
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.
