Fire door closers for Cwmbran buildings
Our fire door closers service covers Cwmbran and the wider Gwent area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Cwmbran, fire door work covers everything from schools to small blocks of flats. 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 Cwmbran fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Cwmbran 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Record of model and settings
Fire door law for Cwmbran properties
Fire door work in Cwmbran follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Cwmbran, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
Which buildings in Cwmbran need fire door closers?

Common questions
Do you cover NP44 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Cwmbran including NP44, and nearby towns such as Pontypool and Risca. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
What is a free-swing closer?
A closer that lets the door swing freely in normal use and closes it when the fire alarm operates. It suits care settings and people who find doors heavy.
