What fire door replacement in Gwent should include
For fire door replacement anywhere in Gwent, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Newport (Gwent), Cwmbran, Pontypool and the rest of the county.
If your Gwent building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Gwent building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Wherever your building is in Gwent, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
Repair or replace?
Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.
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.
