HMO fire doors in Brecon

HMO Fire Doors for Brecon buildings

Looking for HMO fire doors in Brecon? Our supply and fit service covers LD3 and the surrounding area, including Merthyr Tydfil and Ebbw Vale. We quote complete doorsets — leaf, frame, seals, hinges and closer — because that is what the fire certification actually covers.

Brecon is about 39 miles from Newtown; we cover both, along with Merthyr Tydfil, Ebbw Vale and Aberdare.

Which rules apply in Brecon?

In Brecon the specification follows Approved Document B as published for Wales, while day-to-day duties to keep fire doors working come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The England-only door-check regulations of 2022 don't apply in Wales, but regular checks remain good practice and are expected by fire risk assessors.

Cost of HMO fire doors in Powys

Budget around £750 to £1,100 per door for HMO fire doors supplied and fitted in Brecon, excluding VAT. We price each opening separately so nothing is hidden in a lump sum.

Made-to-measure sizes for older openings, vision panels and upgraded hardware are the usual reasons a door sits towards the top of the range.

Your questions answered

Can you work around tenants or staff in Brecon?

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.

Do you remove the old doors?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Brecon.

Do you cover Brecon?

Yes. We survey, supply and fit HMO fire doors throughout Brecon and the rest of Powys, including LD3 and nearby Merthyr Tydfil.

Do HMO fire doors need intumescent strips and smoke seals?

Fire doors always have intumescent seals. Some councils also require smoke seals in HMOs; your licence conditions will say.
