What flat entrance fire doors in Hawarden should include
We provide flat entrance fire doors in Hawarden (CH5 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Hawarden, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
In a block of flats in Hawarden, each flat's front door is what keeps smoke out of the shared corridor, which is why a working closer matters as much as the door. Flat entrance door programmes in Hawarden are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day.
What goes into a compliant flat entrance doorset?
We fit certified FD30S doorsets with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closing device that closes and latches the door from any angle, fire-tested hinges and a lock or latch covered by the certification. Door viewers, spy holes, letterplates, numerals and security hardware can only be fitted if they are part of the doorset's evidence. Where residents want a letterplate, we use one that is covered by the test evidence or recommend a separate post box.
What you get:
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
Which fire door rules apply in Hawarden?
Because Hawarden 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 Hawarden comes from your fire risk assessment.
Which buildings in Hawarden need flat entrance fire doors?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Hawarden can all commission flat entrance fire doors from us. The usual settings are converted houses split into flats and sheltered housing, though single doors for purpose-built blocks of flats are just as welcome.

Questions from Hawarden
Do you work in Hawarden?
Yes, we take on flat entrance fire doors in Hawarden and the surrounding area, including Deeside and Buckley. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Hawarden building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can a flat door have a letterbox?
Only if the letterplate is covered by the doorset's test evidence. A standard letterplate cut into a fire door breaks the rating. Many managing agents choose external post boxes instead.
Who is responsible for replacing flat front doors?
It depends on the lease. Sometimes the leaseholder owns the door, sometimes the freeholder does. Either way, the replacement has to meet the building's fire strategy, so we can work with whoever commissions it.
