Flat entrance fire doors in Dyfed: what's involved
We provide flat entrance fire doors across Dyfed, covering 41 postcode districts from SA14 to SY25.
Flat entrance door programmes in Dyfed are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day. In a block of flats in Dyfed, 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.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Dyfed can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Why flat front doors matter so much
In most blocks the fire strategy relies on each flat containing a fire for long enough that other residents can stay put or leave safely. The flat entrance door is the barrier that makes that work. A door without a working closer, with a missing seal or with a non-fire-rated letterplate can let smoke into the corridor within minutes.
In England, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 asks responsible persons in residential buildings above 11 metres to use best endeavours to check flat entrance doors at least every 12 months. Rules differ in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; our guide to the regulations for flats sets them out.
The regulations behind fire doors in Dyfed
Dyfed 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
Do you provide flat entrance fire doors across Dyfed?
Yes. We cover all of Dyfed, including Llanelli and Ammanford. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
How long does a flat door replacement take?
Typically half a day per door, with the flat secure at the end of the visit. We agree access times with residents in advance and keep the corridor clear while we work.
