Integral garage fire doors for Aberdare buildings
Our integral garage fire doors service covers Aberdare and the wider Mid Glamorgan area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Around Aberdare, houses with integral garages, small offices 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.
If you are selling a home in Aberdare, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Aberdare 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Intumescent and smoke seals
The regulations behind fire doors in Aberdare
Fire door work in Aberdare 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 Aberdare, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
