Double fire doors for Tonypandy buildings
Our double fire doors service covers Tonypandy and the wider Mid Glamorgan area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Tonypandy, fire door work covers everything from high-street shops to HMOs. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Tonypandy care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Tonypandy take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Commissioning of closing sequence
Rules and responsibilities in Tonypandy
Because Tonypandy 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 Tonypandy comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions from Tonypandy
Is Tonypandy within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Tonypandy in Mid Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Rhondda. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Tonypandy?
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.
Can double fire doors be held open?
Yes, with hold-open devices that release on the fire alarm, or with free-swing closers. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
