Fire exit doors: our service in Clwyd
Whether your building is in Wrexham, Buckley or a smaller place in Clwyd, we can provide fire exit doors with the same evidence-led approach.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Clwyd each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Before quoting for an exit door in Clwyd, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Clwyd can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Is every fire exit door a fire door?
Not necessarily. A final exit door leading straight outside often does not need fire resistance, but it must open easily in the direction of escape and be secure the rest of the time. If the exit door also sits in a wall that the fire strategy requires to resist fire, it needs to be a certified fire doorset as well. We check which applies before quoting, so you do not pay for fire resistance you do not need, or miss it where you do.
Which fire door rules apply in Clwyd?
Fire door work in Clwyd 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 Clwyd, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Fire exit doors questions
Do you provide fire exit doors across Clwyd?
Yes. We cover all of Clwyd, including Wrexham and Buckley. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Do fire exit doors have to open outwards?
Exit doors generally open in the direction of escape, especially where many people use them. Your fire strategy or risk assessment sets the requirement for each door.
Which is better, a push bar or a push pad?
Push bars (panic hardware) suit public areas; push pads and levers (emergency exit hardware) suit areas used by trained staff. The choice depends on who will use the door in an emergency.
