Fire door work in West 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 seals fail

Seals are the most common defect on fire door inspections. They get painted over, pulled out, damaged by cleaning or simply worn by years of use. A painted brush seal no longer seals, and a strip of the wrong size may not close the gap in a fire. Our guide to seals explains the different types.

The regulations behind fire doors in West Glamorgan

Because West 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 West Glamorgan comes from your fire risk assessment.
