Steel fire doors in Llanelli, done to the evidence
Our steel fire doors service in Llanelli is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Llanelli range from small blocks of flats to light industrial buildings and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Llanelli often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Llanelli we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
Fire door law for Llanelli properties
Fire door work in Llanelli 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 Llanelli, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
Who needs steel fire doors in Llanelli?
