Stairwell fire doors in Brecon: how we work
We fit doors onto protected stairs and escape routes in Brecon and the rest of Powys. 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.
Brecon is about 39 miles from Newtown; we cover both, along with Merthyr Tydfil, Ebbw Vale and Aberdare.
Fire door rules 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.
