Certified fire doorsets for West Glamorgan buildings
Whether your building is in Swansea, Neath or a smaller place in West Glamorgan, we can provide certified fire doorsets with the same evidence-led approach.
Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in West Glamorgan, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Every doorset we fit in West Glamorgan is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.
Wherever your building is in West Glamorgan, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in West Glamorgan
Because West Glamorgan 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 West Glamorgan comes from your fire risk assessment.

Certified fire doorsets questions
Do you provide certified fire doorsets across West Glamorgan?
Yes. We cover all of West Glamorgan, including Swansea and Neath. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
