In Swansea
The reality of fire door work in Swansea.
Older properties in Swansea usually mean the existing frame's out of square by a fair bit. You can't just plane the door down to fit — it stops being a tested set the second you do. We line and pack the frame instead, keep the door spec intact.
Why Swansea
What's specific about fire door work in Swansea.
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 Swansea.
Student HMOs and PBSA
Swansea'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
Swansea 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 Swansea have a heavy industrial estate footprint — FD60 sets, riser doors, plant-room separations. Different scale from residential, same standards apply.
Salt-air corrosion on hardware
Coastal stock around Swansea eats hinges and closers faster than inland sites. We spec marine-grade or stainless ironmongery where it makes sense, so the door still self-closes after a couple of winters.

On every door
What we actually check on a Swansea install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- Overall fit — does it actually self-close and latch from 30°?
- Frame condition, fixings and packing material
- Intumescent and smoke seal type, position and continuity
- Signage — fire door keep shut / keep locked, where required
- Closer model, force setting and whether it actually closes from any angle
- Architrave reinstatement without blocking the seal
- Door leaf certification label still present and readable
- Gap tolerance top, sides and threshold (3mm ±1, 8–10mm at the floor)

FAQ
Fire door questions from Swansea.
Do I really need new doors, or can my existing ones in Swansea 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 Swansea 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.
Will I get paperwork for the fire risk assessor?
Yes. Every door fitted in Swansea comes with a photographic record and a written compliance note. Hand it straight over.
Do you do surveys on their own?
Yes. Standalone condition surveys on existing fire doors in Swansea, with a written report, photos and remedial recommendations. Useful before tendering bigger works.
Do you cover surrounding areas as well as Swansea?
Yes. We cover the wider area around Swansea — if you're not sure, just ask on the form and we'll confirm.
Can you fit fire doors out of hours in Swansea?
Yes. Hotels, care, occupied offices around Swansea — we regularly work evenings and weekends. Costs a touch more, saves a lot of disruption.
