Getting steel fire doors right in Wrexham
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Wrexham, we offer steel fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Wrexham, schools, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions 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.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Wrexham buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Wrexham often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
Where steel fire doors are the better choice
Steel doorsets cope with impact, damp and rough handling better than most timber doors. They are a natural fit for plant and boiler rooms, refuse stores, car park lobbies, workshops and warehouses. Many steel doorsets are available in ratings of 60 minutes and beyond where the test evidence supports it, which suits the higher-rated walls around plant spaces.
Each installation includes:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Powder-coated finishes
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
The regulations behind fire doors in Wrexham
Wrexham 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.
