Fire door replacement in South Glamorgan: what's involved
Whether your building is in Cardiff, Barry or a smaller place in South Glamorgan, we can provide fire door replacement with the same evidence-led approach.
If a door in your South Glamorgan building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you. If your South Glamorgan building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in South Glamorgan can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in South Glamorgan?
South Glamorgan 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.

- Review the inspection report or survey each door

What does fire door replacement cost in South Glamorgan?

Fire door replacement questions
Do you provide fire door replacement across South Glamorgan?
Yes. We cover all of South Glamorgan, including Cardiff and Barry. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
