Double fire doors in Caerphilly, done to the evidence
From the CF83 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Caerphilly for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Caerphilly has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, schools and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Every pair we fit in Caerphilly is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Caerphilly 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:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Commissioning of closing sequence
Which fire door rules apply in Caerphilly?
Caerphilly 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.
Which buildings in Caerphilly need double fire doors?

Questions from Caerphilly
Is Caerphilly within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Caerphilly in Gwent and neighbouring towns such as Risca. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Caerphilly?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
