Getting flat entrance fire doors right in Powys
We provide flat entrance fire doors across Powys, covering 18 postcode districts from LD1 to SY22.
Flat entrance door programmes in Powys are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day. In a block of flats in Powys, 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.
Wherever your building is in Powys, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
Who pays and who decides?
Flat entrance doors often sit on the boundary between the leaseholder's flat and the freeholder's building. Ownership depends on the lease, and leaseholder consent, landlord consent and Section 20 consultation can all come into it. We work with freeholders, managing agents, housing providers and individual leaseholders, and our responsibility guide covers the common questions.
The regulations behind fire doors in Powys
Because Powys 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 Powys comes from your fire risk assessment.

Common questions
Do you provide flat entrance fire doors across Powys?
Yes. We cover all of Powys. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can residents choose the colour of their front door?
Often, within the range the doorset manufacturer offers and within any rules the freeholder sets for the corridor. Factory finishes are better than site painting, which can clog seals and hide labels.
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.
