Fire Door Replacement in Cardiff: questions

Can residents stay in while flat doors are replaced?

Yes. Flat entrance doors are usually replaced in a single visit and the flat is never left without a lockable door.

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

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

When should a fire door be replaced rather than repaired?

When the leaf or frame is too damaged to repair within what its test evidence allows, when there is no evidence it is a fire door, or when the repair would cost more than a new doorset.

Does regulation 10 apply in Cardiff?

No. Cardiff 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.
