Certified fire doorsets in Llanelli, done to the evidence
Our certified fire doorsets service covers Llanelli and the wider Dyfed area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Llanelli, light industrial buildings, care homes and schools 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.
Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Llanelli, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Every doorset we fit in Llanelli is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.
How is a doorset installed?
The opening is prepared to the size and tolerances in the manufacturer's instructions. The frame is fixed with the specified fixings at the specified centres, packed where needed, and checked for square, plumb and twist. The gap between frame and wall is then sealed with a material covered by the evidence, which BS 8214:2026 now describes in more detail. Finally the leaf is adjusted, the closer is set and the assembly is tested before the architraves go on.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
What the rules say for Llanelli
Llanelli 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.
