Fire door ironmongery in West Glamorgan: what's involved
Across West Glamorgan, from Swansea to Neath, we survey, supply and fit fire door ironmongery for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
We supply ironmongery for West Glamorgan fire doors that matches each door's test evidence. Missing hinge screws and unsuitable locks are routine findings on fire door inspections everywhere; in West Glamorgan we replace them with hardware covered by each door's evidence.
Fire door work in West Glamorgan spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
Signage
Most fire doors need a sign saying whether they should be kept shut, kept locked or are automatic. We fit signage appropriate to the door's use as part of the installation.
What the rules say for West Glamorgan
Because West Glamorgan is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in West Glamorgan comes from your fire risk assessment.
