Fire door repairs and remedial works for Gwent buildings
Whether your building is in Newport (Gwent), Cwmbran or a smaller place in Gwent, we can provide fire door repairs and remedial works with the same evidence-led approach.
Many repairs in Gwent can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Gwent building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
Gwent has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
What can be repaired?
Most defects found on inspection are repairable: replacing damaged intumescent strips and smoke seals, re-fixing or replacing hinges and missing screws, replacing or adjusting closers, fixing latches and keeps, fitting intumescent pads behind hinges and locks, re-glazing with the correct system and correcting minor gap issues where the manufacturer's guidance allows. Some repairs, such as hardwood edge repairs, must follow the manufacturer's method to stay within the evidence.
Which fire door rules apply in Gwent?
Gwent 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.

Fire door repairs and remedial works questions
Do you provide fire door repairs and remedial works across Gwent?
Yes. We cover all of Gwent, including Newport (Gwent) and Cwmbran. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can I paint over intumescent strips?
Painting over smoke seals stops them working, and heavy paint can affect intumescent strips. Damaged or painted seals should be replaced with the specified type.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
