In Cardiff
Fire door projects in and around Cardiff.
A lot of our Cardiff work is in occupied buildings. Tenants in, staff working, kids in classrooms. So we plan around that — phased installs, dust sheets, cleaning down at the end of each day. Nobody wants a contractor camping out for a fortnight.
Why Cardiff
What's specific about fire door work in Cardiff.
Every area has its own quirks — building age, tenure mix, the kind of assessor activity going on locally. Here's what shapes the work in Cardiff.
Student HMOs and PBSA
Cardiff's big student population means a lot of HMO bedroom-door programmes and purpose-built student accommodation. Vacation windows are tight — we plan installs around lease changeover.
Mixed-use buildings and commercial fit-outs
Cardiff has a lot of shops with flats above and offices over retail. Compartmentation between residential and commercial is where assessors push hardest, and where most of our remedial work sits.
Industrial and warehouse units
Working-port areas around Cardiff have a heavy industrial estate footprint — FD60 sets, riser doors, plant-room separations. Different scale from residential, same standards apply.
Welsh stock and tenure mix
A lot of Cardiff housing is older valley/terrace stock with non-standard openings. Frames are rarely square, so we line and pack rather than touching the certified leaf.

FAQ
Fire door questions from Cardiff.
Can you work in occupied buildings in Cardiff?
All the time. HMOs, flats, care, commercial. Phased works, dust kept down, residents and staff respected.
What ironmongery do you use?
Only certified components compatible with the door's tested spec. CE/UKCA-marked hinges, closers, latches, seals. No bodges.
What happens if a door fails inspection later?
If it's our install in Cardiff and it's an installation issue, we come back and sort it. That's part of the workmanship guarantee.
Do I really need new doors, or can my existing ones in Cardiff be brought back into compliance?
Honestly — a lot of doors fail because of gaps, seals or wrong ironmongery, not the door itself. We'll tell you straight on the survey whether your Cardiff doors are remediable or if they're past it.
What's the difference between FD30 and FD60?
FD30 holds back fire for 30 minutes, FD60 for 60. Which you need depends on the building's compartmentation strategy in your fire risk assessment — not something to guess at.
