Steel fire doors for Caerphilly buildings
We provide steel fire doors in Caerphilly (CF83 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Caerphilly, fire door work covers everything from small offices to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For steel fire doors in Caerphilly we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Caerphilly buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Powder-coated finishes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Single and double steel doorsets
Which fire door rules apply in Caerphilly?
Caerphilly 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.

Do steel fire doors need intumescent seals?
Some steel doorsets use intumescent seals and some do not, depending on how they were tested. The certification sets out exactly what is required.

They are usually supplied powder coated. Repainting on site is possible but must avoid covering seals and labels, and should follow the manufacturer's guidance.
