Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Pontypridd
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers Pontypridd and the wider Mid Glamorgan area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Pontypridd, houses with integral garages, small offices and small blocks of flats 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.
Send us the inspection report for your Pontypridd building and we will price the remedial actions line by line. We prioritise the most serious defects in your Pontypridd building first and return evidence against each action.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Before-and-after photos per door
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
The regulations behind fire doors in Pontypridd
Fire door work in Pontypridd follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Pontypridd, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Questions from Pontypridd
Do you cover CF37 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Pontypridd including CF37, and nearby towns such as Tonypandy and Caerphilly. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Pontypridd building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Can large gaps around a fire door be fixed?
Sometimes. Small gap problems can often be corrected by adjusting hinges or approved edge repairs. Gaps far beyond the certification usually mean the door or frame must be replaced.
