Certified fire doorsets for Wrexham buildings
We provide certified fire doorsets in Wrexham (LL13 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Wrexham protect escape routes in high-street shops, industrial estates and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Wrexham, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Every doorset we fit in Wrexham is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.
What does third-party certification mean?
Third-party certification means an independent body has checked the product's test evidence and audits the factory that makes it. Certified products carry a label or plug on the door edge and a certificate you can check. Buyers often look for schemes such as BWF Certifire or BM TRADA Q-Mark when choosing products. Our guide to certified doorsets explains how to read the label and certificate.
On a typical job that means:
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
What the rules say for Wrexham
Because Wrexham 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 Wrexham comes from your fire risk assessment.
Which buildings in Wrexham need certified fire doorsets?
You are most likely to need certified fire doorsets if you look after blocks of flats, refurbishment programmes or new-build and conversion projects. Whatever the building in Wrexham, we survey each opening and tell you which doors need work and which do not.
The steps on a Wrexham installation
- Survey and measure every structural opening
- Specify doorsets by rating, size, hand, finish and hardware
- Prepare openings and remove existing doors and linings
- Fix and seal the frames to the structure
- Hang, adjust and test each leaf and closer
- Fit architraves, make good and hand over evidence

Common questions
Do you work in Wrexham?
Yes, we take on certified fire doorsets in Wrexham and the surrounding area, including Rhosllannerchrugog and Buckley. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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 a doorset be fitted into an existing opening?
Usually, yes. Doorsets are made to fit the structural opening once the old frame is removed. We measure the opening on the survey so the doorset is made to the right size and the gaps to the wall stay within what the evidence allows.
Do doorsets come painted?
They can be supplied primed, factory painted, veneered, laminated or with a composite skin, depending on the product. Factory finishes avoid painting over seals and labels on site.
