Fire exit doors in Wrexham, done to the evidence
From the LL13 postcode district outwards, we take on fire exit doors across Wrexham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Wrexham, industrial estates, HMOs 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.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Wrexham each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Wrexham can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.
Security without blocking escape
Exit doors need to keep intruders out while letting people out in seconds. We can fit outside access devices, alarmed hardware and access control interfaces that do not stop the door being opened from inside. Any of these on a fire-rated exit door must be covered by its evidence.
On a typical job that means:
- Commissioning and handover
- Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
Which fire door rules apply in 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Wrexham

Common questions
Do you cover LL13 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Wrexham including LL13, and nearby towns such as Rhosllannerchrugog and Buckley. The survey and written quote are free.
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 fire exit door be locked?
It can be secured against entry from outside, but it must open from inside without a key whenever the building is occupied. Panic and emergency exit hardware are designed for exactly this.
Do fire exit doors need closers?
Final exit doors often have closers for security and weather reasons. If the exit door is also a fire door, a closer is normally required to keep it shut.
