Integral garage fire doors in South Glamorgan: what's involved
We provide integral garage fire doors across South Glamorgan, covering 3 towns and 13 postcode districts, including Cardiff, Barry and Penarth.
We fit garage fire doors in South Glamorgan with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. For homes in South Glamorgan with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
Fire door work in South Glamorgan spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
Why the garage door matters
Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.
Which fire door rules apply in South Glamorgan?
Because South Glamorgan 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 South Glamorgan comes from your fire risk assessment.
