Double fire doors across Powys

Double fire doors for Powys buildings

We provide double fire doors across Powys, covering 18 postcode districts from LD1 to SY22.

Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Powys care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Every pair we fit in Powys is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.

Wherever your building is in Powys, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.

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.

Rules and responsibilities in Powys

Powys 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.
