What fire door frames in Ammanford should include
Looking for fire door frames in Ammanford? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Ammanford and the wider Dyfed area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Ammanford, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We photograph every frame we fix in Ammanford before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Ammanford jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
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.
What you get:
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
What the rules say for Ammanford
Fire door work in Ammanford 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 Ammanford, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Questions
Do you cover SA18 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Ammanford including SA18, and nearby towns such as Gorseinon and Llanelli. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Ammanford?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
Why do you photograph the frame before fitting architraves?
Because the fixing and sealing are hidden once the architraves go on. Photographs give you evidence that the hidden work was done correctly.
