Merthyr Tydfil FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply in Merthyr Tydfil?

No. Merthyr Tydfil 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.

How long does a fire door inspection take?

Typically 10 to 20 minutes per door, depending on access and how many defects need photographing. A block with 40 communal doors is usually a single day on site.

Do you need to remove the doors?

No. Inspections are non-intrusive. The inspector measures, operates and photographs each door in place and only lifts away removable items such as letter-plate covers where it is safe to do so.

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

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