Fire door frames in Dyfed: what's involved
Our fire door frames service covers all of Dyfed, across postcode districts including SA14, SY25 and SA44.
We photograph every frame we fix in Dyfed before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Dyfed jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Dyfed can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Why frames fail inspections
Many fire door problems start with the frame: softwood linings too thin for the door, frames cut back to fit a previous door, frames loose in the wall, or gaps behind the architrave stuffed with ordinary foam or left open. A perfect leaf hung in a frame like that cannot be relied on.
The regulations behind fire doors in Dyfed
Fire door work in Dyfed 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 Dyfed, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Common questions
Do you provide fire door frames across Dyfed?
Yes. We cover all of Dyfed, including Llanelli and Ammanford. Surveys and written quotes are free.
What is the frame-to-wall gap?
It is the space between the door frame and the surrounding wall, normally hidden by the architrave. If it is not filled with a suitable fire-resisting material, fire and smoke can pass around the door.
Can a new frame be fitted to my existing door?
Sometimes, if the frame is compatible with the door's certification. Often it is simpler and better evidenced to replace the whole doorset.
