HMO fire doors in Cardiff

HMO fire doors in Cardiff: how we work

We fit HMO fire doors and self-closers in Cardiff and the rest of South Glamorgan. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.

Surveys in Cardiff are booked around your access needs, and we cover the wider South Glamorgan area too.

Fire door rules in Cardiff

In Cardiff 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.

What do HMO fire doors cost in Cardiff?

Guide prices for HMO fire doors in Cardiff run from about £750 to £1,100 per door, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.

If your fire risk assessment lists specific doors, send it with your enquiry and we'll price exactly those openings.

Your questions answered

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.

Do you cover Cardiff?

Yes. We survey, supply and fit HMO fire doors throughout Cardiff and the rest of South Glamorgan, including CF10 and nearby Penarth.

Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Cardiff?

Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.

Do all HMO doors need to be fire doors?

Usually the doors opening onto the escape route — bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms — but not bathrooms in most layouts. Your licensing conditions and risk assessment set the list.
