Fire door replacement in Pontypool, done to the evidence
If you need fire door replacement in Pontypool, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Pontypool protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, houses with integral garages and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We never leave a Pontypool opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Pontypool building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
After an inspection report
Most replacement work follows a fire door inspection or fire risk assessment. Send us the report and we will price each action, replacement or repair, door by door, so you can prioritise. Our guide to failed inspections explains how to read the findings.
On a typical job that means:
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
Fire door law for Pontypool properties
Because Pontypool is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Pontypool comes from your fire risk assessment.
Buildings and duty holders in Pontypool
Typical settings for fire door replacement include HMOs, offices and schools. In Pontypool, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Pontypool
Is Pontypool within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Pontypool in Gwent and neighbouring towns such as Cwmbran. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Pontypool 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 you work from my fire risk assessment?
Yes. Send us the actions and we will price each fire door item and report back against the same references.
Can you replace just the door and keep the frame?
Yes, if the frame is sound and compatible with the new leaf's certification. If not, we replace the whole doorset.
