Getting integral garage fire doors right in Briton Ferry
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Briton Ferry, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Briton Ferry, fire door work covers everything from schools to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Briton Ferry with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. We fit garage fire doors in Briton Ferry with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
When you might need a new garage door
The usual triggers are building control flagging the door during a conversion or extension, a house sale survey raising it, or the discovery that the original door has been swapped for a standard internal door. Some garage conversions remove the need altogether; others create new requirements. Our guide to fire doors in houses explains when they are needed.
As standard, the work covers:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
Fire door law for Briton Ferry properties
Fire door work in Briton Ferry 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 Briton Ferry, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Do I need to be there for the survey?

Will building control accept the door?
We supply certified products and leave product and certificate details so your building control body or solicitor can see what was fitted. The final decision is theirs.
