Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Risca
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Risca, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Risca, schools, small blocks of flats and light industrial buildings 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 prioritise the most serious defects in your Risca building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Risca can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
Working from your inspection report
Send us your inspection report or fire risk assessment actions. We price each defect line by line, carry out the work, and return a record of what was done to each door, with before and after photographs, so you can close the actions off.
Each installation includes:
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
Which fire door rules apply in Risca?
Risca 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Risca
Typical settings for fire door repairs and remedial works include offices, care homes and HMOs.

Questions from Risca
Is Risca within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Risca in Gwent and neighbouring towns such as Newport (Gwent). There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
