Integral garage fire doors: our service in Caerphilly
From the CF83 postcode district outwards, we take on integral garage fire doors across Caerphilly for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Caerphilly protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If you are selling a home in Caerphilly, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Caerphilly with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
What we fit
We fit a certified FD30S doorset or leaf with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closer set to close and latch the door without slamming, and a threshold detail that keeps the smoke seal effective. We can match the style of your other internal doors where the certified range allows.
On a typical job that means:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Intumescent and smoke seals
Rules and responsibilities in Caerphilly
Fire door work in Caerphilly 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 Caerphilly, 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 Caerphilly
Do you work in Caerphilly?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Caerphilly and the surrounding area, including Risca and Pontypridd. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Caerphilly?
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.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
Does the garage door need a closer?
Building control will normally expect the door between an integral garage and the house to be self-closing. We fit closers that shut and latch the door gently.
