Fire door closers: our service in Mid Glamorgan
For fire door closers anywhere in Mid Glamorgan, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Rhondda, Tonypandy, Bridgend and the rest of the county.
We set closers in Mid Glamorgan buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open. A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Mid Glamorgan fire doors.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Mid Glamorgan can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Mid Glamorgan
Because Mid Glamorgan 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 Mid Glamorgan comes from your fire risk assessment.

Fire door closers questions
Do you provide fire door closers across Mid Glamorgan?
Yes. We cover all of Mid Glamorgan, including Rhondda and Tonypandy. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can a fire door closer be too strong?
Yes. An over-powered or badly set closer makes the door hard to open and may lead people to wedge it. The goal is reliable closing with a reasonable opening force.
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.
