What double fire doors in Maesteg should include
When you book double fire doors in Maesteg, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Maesteg range from light industrial buildings to family homes after loft conversions and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Maesteg take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Maesteg is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Hold-opens and escape
Pairs on corridors are often held open in daily use, with hold-open devices releasing both leaves when the alarm sounds. Where a pair is on an escape route used by the public, the escape hardware and the direction of opening also need to suit the fire strategy.
Each installation includes:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Commissioning of closing sequence
What the rules say for Maesteg
Because Maesteg 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 Maesteg comes from your fire risk assessment.

Common questions
Do you work in Maesteg?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Maesteg and the surrounding area, including Briton Ferry and Neath. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Maesteg 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.
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.
