Getting fire door replacement right in Cardiff
We provide fire door replacement in Cardiff (CF10 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Cardiff, hotels, mixed-use office buildings and clinics all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
If your Cardiff building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Cardiff 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
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Assessment of repair versus replacement
The regulations behind fire doors in Cardiff
Fire door work in Cardiff follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Cardiff, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Questions
Is Cardiff within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Cardiff in South Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Penarth. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Cardiff?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Do you take away the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of old doors and packaging is included in our quotes unless you ask otherwise.
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.
