Throughout South Glamorgan, including Cardiff, Barry and Penarth, we survey, quote and fit communal corridor and lobby fire doors as complete certified doorsets, with the manufacturer's certificate reference on every quote.
Which rules apply in South Glamorgan?
Wales issues its own version of Approved Document B, so new and replacement fire doors in South Glamorgan are specified against the Welsh guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, covering workplaces and the common parts of multi-occupied residential buildings, including flat entrance doors.

Communal fire doors in South Glamorgan: questions
Can you work around tenants or staff?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Which rules apply in South Glamorgan?
Doors are specified to Approved Document B (Wales) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Can communal fire doors be held open?
