Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Pontypool, our fire door closer repairs follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

Common questions in Pontypool

Does regulation 10 apply in Pontypool?

No. Pontypool is in Wales and regulation 10 is English law. The Fire Safety Order 2005 still requires fire doors to be maintained, and many Welsh landlords follow the same quarterly and annual routine as good practice.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Pontypool?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Pontypool can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Can fire doors be held open?

Only with a device designed to release the door automatically when the fire alarm sounds, such as an acoustic or alarm-linked electromagnetic hold-open. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable on fire doors.

My door slams. Is that a fault?

Yes. A slamming door wears hinges and frames and can injure users. The closing speed and latching action can usually be adjusted.
