Getting fire door replacement right in Risca
Looking for fire door replacement in Risca? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Risca and the wider Gwent area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Risca range from small offices to houses with integral garages and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Risca building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. We never leave a Risca opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out.
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.
What you get:
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Which fire door rules apply in Risca?
Risca 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.

Common questions
Do you cover NP11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Risca including NP11, and nearby towns such as Newport (Gwent) and Cwmbran. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
How do I know if a fire door needs replacing?
A competent inspection will tell you. Typical reasons are serious damage, gaps that cannot be corrected, no evidence the door is a fire door, or unapproved alterations such as new holes or glazing.
