Steel fire doors: our service in Bridgend
If you need steel fire doors in Bridgend, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Bridgend has a broad mix of buildings, including care homes, schools and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Bridgend buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Bridgend 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
Rules and responsibilities in Bridgend
Fire door work in Bridgend 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 Bridgend, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Can steel fire doors be painted?
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.
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.
