What steel fire doors in Pontypridd should include
If you need steel fire doors in Pontypridd, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Pontypridd has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, small offices and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Pontypridd buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Pontypridd often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
Security and finishes
Steel fire doors can combine fire resistance with security features such as heavier locks and anti-jemmy details, within the evidence. They are usually powder coated in a range of colours, which gives a hard-wearing finish for back-of-house areas.
On a typical job that means:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Powder-coated finishes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
Fire door law for Pontypridd properties
Pontypridd 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.
