What the law says in Cardiff
Wales issues its own version of Approved Document B, so new and replacement fire doors in Cardiff 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.
FD30 fire doors prices in Cardiff
Budget around £750 to £1,150 per single doorset for FD30 fire doors supplied and fitted in Cardiff, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.
Guide prices assume straightforward access; out-of-hours working or difficult access is priced as a separate, visible line.
Buildings that need FD30 fire doors
Plant rooms and stores and HMO bedrooms and kitchens are among the most common settings for FD30 fire doors, in Cardiff as elsewhere.

Common questions in South Glamorgan
Can you work around tenants or staff in Cardiff?
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.
How quickly can you survey in Cardiff?
We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Cardiff visits with other work in South Glamorgan. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Cardiff.
Does an FD30 door need a self-closer?
Almost always. Fire doors only work closed, so they need a self-closing device unless they are cupboard or riser doors kept locked shut.
