Getting fire door repairs and remedial works right in Gorseinon
When you book fire door repairs and remedial works in Gorseinon, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Gorseinon has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Gorseinon building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Gorseinon can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
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:
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Before-and-after photos per door
Rules and responsibilities in Gorseinon
Gorseinon 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.

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.
