Swansea FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply in Swansea?

No. Swansea 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.

Are cat flaps allowed in fire doors?

Not unless the flap is part of the door's tested design. A cat flap cut into a fire door, including many flat entrance doors, will normally make it non-compliant.

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

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

How many hinges does a fire door need?

Most single-leaf fire doors use three hinges; taller or heavier leaves may need four. The door's test evidence specifies the number and type.
