Seal replacement in Dyfed can be combined with any other remedials on the same inspection report. Painted and missing seals are among the most common fire door defects nationally; in Dyfed we replace them with the type and size the certification specifies.
Dyfed has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Pads, linings and hidden protection
Fire doors also rely on intumescent material you cannot see: pads behind hinges, linings around lock bodies and glazing seals. Where these are missing or damaged, we fit the correct items as part of the work.
The regulations behind fire doors in Dyfed
Dyfed 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.

Common questions
Do you provide intumescent strips and smoke seals across Dyfed?
Yes. We cover all of Dyfed, including Llanelli and Ammanford. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can smoke seals be painted?
No. Paint stops brush and blade seals working. If seals have been painted, they should be replaced.
Can I just add intumescent strips to an ordinary door?
No. Strips do not turn an ordinary door into a fire door. They only work as part of a door that was tested and certified with them.
