Fire exit doors in Maesteg: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Maesteg, we offer fire exit doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Maesteg, fire door work covers everything from care homes to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Shops, warehouses and schools in Maesteg each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency. Exit doors in Maesteg 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
- Weather and threshold detailing
- Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
- BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
Fire door law for Maesteg properties
Maesteg 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.

Questions from Maesteg
Is Maesteg within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Maesteg in Mid Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Briton Ferry. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Maesteg?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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 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.
