What fire door closers in Risca should include
If you need fire door closers in Risca, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Risca, small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and small offices all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Risca fire doors. We set closers in Risca buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open.
The most common fire door fault
A fire door that does not close is not doing its job. Closers fail because they are under-powered, out of adjustment, damaged, leaking or disconnected by people who find the door too heavy. Often the fix is a correctly sized closer, set up properly, rather than a new door.
On a typical job that means:
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Record of model and settings
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
Fire door law for Risca properties
Risca 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
Is Risca within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Risca in Gwent and neighbouring towns such as Newport (Gwent). There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Risca?
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.
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.
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.
