What double fire doors in Bridgend should include
If you need double fire doors in Bridgend, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Bridgend, fire door work covers everything from care homes to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Bridgend take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Bridgend 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.
Each installation includes:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
What the rules say for Bridgend
Bridgend 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Bridgend?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Bridgend and the surrounding area, including Maesteg and Tonypandy. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Bridgend?
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.
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.
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.
