Flat entrance fire doors for Neath buildings
Our flat entrance fire doors service covers Neath and the wider West Glamorgan area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Neath, small offices, family homes after loft conversions 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.
In a block of flats in Neath, 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. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Neath, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.
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.
What you get:
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
Fire door law for Neath properties
Fire door work in Neath follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Neath, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Questions from Neath
Is Neath within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Neath in West Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Briton Ferry. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
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.
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.
