Fire door repairs and remedial works: our service in Swansea
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers Swansea and the wider West Glamorgan area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Swansea protect escape routes in converted flats, clinics and mixed-use office buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Many repairs in Swansea can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site. Send us the inspection report for your Swansea building and we will price the remedial actions line by line.
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:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
The regulations behind fire doors in Swansea
Fire door work in Swansea 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 Swansea, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
Buildings and duty holders in Swansea

Questions
Is Swansea within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Swansea in West Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Briton Ferry. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Swansea?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
