Fire door replacement in Newport (Gwent): what's involved
Looking for fire door replacement in Newport (Gwent)? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Newport (Gwent) and the wider Gwent area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Newport (Gwent) protect escape routes in care homes, converted period houses and offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If your Newport (Gwent) building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Newport (Gwent) building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Minimal disruption
We never leave an opening without a door. Replacements are scheduled so the new door is on site before the old one comes out, and each opening is finished, tested and photographed the same day wherever possible.
On a typical job that means:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
