Getting fire door frames right in Tonypandy

Looking for fire door frames in Tonypandy? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Tonypandy and the wider Mid Glamorgan area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Fire doors in Tonypandy protect escape routes in high-street shops, industrial estates and low-rise blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Tonypandy survey. We photograph every frame we fix in Tonypandy before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record.

BS 8214:2026 and the frame-to-wall gap

The 2026 revision of BS 8214 strengthened its guidance on sealing the gap between the frame and the surrounding structure, listing material types such as stone wool, mastic and fire-rated foam, and putting the emphasis on using what the evidence supports. We fill and seal that gap with materials covered by the doorset's or sealant's test evidence and photograph it before the architraves go back on.

As standard, the work covers:

• Fixing at specified centres with packing
• Architraves and making good
• Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
• Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials

Fire door law for Tonypandy properties

The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Tonypandy, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
