What fire door closers in Bridgend should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Bridgend, we offer fire door closers with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Bridgend protect escape routes in small offices, houses with integral garages and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Bridgend fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Bridgend care homes and supported living.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Record of model and settings
Which fire door rules apply in Bridgend?
Bridgend 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.
Who needs fire door closers in Bridgend?

Common questions
Is Bridgend within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Maesteg. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Bridgend?
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.
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.
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.
