Glazed fire doors in Pontypridd, done to the evidence
Our glazed fire doors service in Pontypridd is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Pontypridd, care homes, small blocks of flats and small offices 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.
We check glazed doors in Pontypridd for both fire performance and safety glazing before recommending repair or replacement. Schools, offices and care settings in Pontypridd often need vision panels, and each one has to use fire-rated glass in a tested system.
Safety and visibility
Glass in doors also has to meet safety glazing rules, so the fire-rated glass chosen needs to be suitable for impact as well. For schools and care settings we also consider where the panel sits so that children or wheelchair users can see through it.
Each installation includes:
- Glazed doorsets with certified apertures
- Safety glazing and visibility considerations
- Re-glazing of damaged vision panels to the original system
- Evidence of the glazing system fitted
The regulations behind fire doors in Pontypridd
Pontypridd 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 cover CF37 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Pontypridd including CF37, and nearby towns such as Tonypandy and Caerphilly. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Pontypridd?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Are wired glass fire doors still acceptable?
Some older doors use wired glass. Whether it is acceptable depends on its fire rating and whether it meets safety glazing rules for that location. We advise case by case.
Can you add a vision panel to my existing fire door?
Only if the door's certification allows an aperture of that size and position. Most existing doors cannot be modified this way, so a new glazed doorset is usually needed.
