What fire door replacement in Aberdare should include
If you need fire door replacement in Aberdare, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Aberdare has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, light industrial buildings and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We never leave a Aberdare opening without a door; the new one is on site before the old one comes out. If a door in your Aberdare 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:
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Evidence linked back to your inspection report
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification

The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Aberdare, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
