Pontypool FAQs

Can you price remedial work in Pontypool from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Pontypool, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Which fire safety law applies in Pontypool?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, and the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings are within scope.

Why do gaps open up over time?

Hinges wear and drop, frames shrink or move, leaves warp, and doors are sometimes planed after flooring changes. Each needs a different repair.

Can you fix a big gap with a thicker intumescent strip?

Not as a general rule. Seals are tested for a particular gap; using oversized seals to hide a poor fit is not a reliable repair.
