Fire door closers: our service in Caerphilly
If you need fire door closers in Caerphilly, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Caerphilly, fire door work covers everything from care homes to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Caerphilly fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Caerphilly care homes and supported living.
Overhead, concealed or free-swing
Overhead closers are the most common and easiest to maintain. Concealed closers keep a clean look and deter tampering, if covered by the door's evidence. Free-swing closers let a door move freely in everyday use and close when the fire alarm sounds, which is useful in care homes and for people who find doors hard to open.
Each installation includes:
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Record of model and settings
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
Rules and responsibilities 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.

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 won't my fire door latch?
Usually the closer is out of adjustment or under-powered, or the latch and keep are misaligned. Both are normally quick to fix.
Do all fire doors need closers?
Most do. Exceptions include some doors kept locked shut and some doors within houses, depending on the fire strategy.
