What steel fire doors in Briton Ferry should include
Our steel fire doors service in Briton Ferry is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Briton Ferry, care homes, schools and houses with integral garages 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 Briton Ferry buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Briton Ferry often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
How installation differs from timber
Steel frames are fixed with the anchors and fixing centres the manufacturer specifies, and frames are often grouted or packed according to the instructions. Steel doors usually arrive with hinges and hardware preparations made in the factory, so the hardware set must be ordered correctly at the outset. BS 8214:2026 now covers steel, metal and composite doors as well as timber, including how to seal them to the surrounding structure.
Each installation includes:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Powder-coated finishes
The regulations behind fire doors in Briton Ferry
Because Briton Ferry is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Briton Ferry comes from your fire risk assessment.
