Fire door ironmongery: our service in Caerphilly
From the CF83 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door ironmongery across Caerphilly for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Caerphilly, family homes after loft conversions, houses with integral garages and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
We supply ironmongery for Caerphilly fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Signage for fire doors in Caerphilly buildings is fitted as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Common hardware defects
Inspections regularly find missing hinge screws, mismatched hinges, plastic-bodied latches, unapproved bolts and locks fitted without intumescent protection. We replace them with items covered by the door's evidence and fit the matching pads and linings.
Each installation includes:
- Bolts and selectors where specified
- Locks and latches covered by the evidence
- Fire door signage
- Lever handles, pull handles and push plates
Rules and responsibilities in Caerphilly
Caerphilly 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.
