Fire Door FAQs

What fire door services do you offer?: At AFP Wales, we provide a comprehensive range of fire door services, including the supply, installation, inspection, maintenance, and repair of fire doors across all building types. Whether you need to install new fire doors, replace damaged or non-compliant doors, or you want to ensure that existing fire doors are fully operational and compliant, our team offers end-to-end solutions. We ensure that each door we supply and install meets your fire safety requirements and complies with the relevant fire regulations. We also provide ongoing fire door maintenance services to ensure long-term reliability and safety, including regular inspections, repairs, and servicing to keep your fire doors in optimal condition.
What makes AFP Wales one of the leading fire door specialists in the UK?: As fire door specialists, we combine years of industry experience with high standards of service. We’re accredited and certified to deliver top-tier fire door services across various sectors, including healthcare, education, hospitality, and commercial offices. Our team is fully trained and knowledgeable about the complexities of fire door installation, repair, and maintenance, ensuring compliance with UK regulations such as BS 9999 and BS 8214. By working with us, you can trust that your fire door systems are designed, installed, and maintained by experts who prioritise safety, compliance, and the longevity of your fire doors.
Why should I choose a dedicated fire door company rather than a general contractor?: Choosing a dedicated fire door company, like AFP Wales, ensures that you’re working with experts who specialise in the complexities of fire door systems. While general contractors may be able to carry out basic installations, fire doors require specific knowledge regarding their construction, fire resistance ratings, compliance with regulations, and proper fitting. Our team is trained to install fire doors that meet strict standards, ensuring they perform as expected during a fire. Additionally, fire doors must be maintained regularly to ensure they remain compliant and effective. By working with a specialist, you reduce the risk of faulty installation or non-compliance, both of which can lead to serious safety issues and legal consequences.
Do you provide both supply and installation?: Yes, as fire door suppliers and installers, we offer a complete service from the supply of certified fire doors to professional installation. We work closely with manufacturers to supply a range of high-quality fire doors, including FD30, FD60, glazed fire doors, and flat entrance doors, all tailored to meet the specific needs of your building. Our team ensures that the fire doors we supply are fitted with the appropriate frames, seals, hardware, and signage to guarantee compliance and optimal performance. By handling both supply and installation, we streamline the process and ensure that all components are fully compatible, saving you time and ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety.
Can you help with commercial fire doors for large or multi-site facilities?: At AFP Wales, we specialise in commercial fire doors and have extensive experience working with large, multi-site facilities. Whether you’re managing a single building or multiple locations across the UK, we offer tailored solutions to meet the specific fire safety requirements of your properties. Our team can support you through the design, supply, installation, and maintenance of commercial fire doors, ensuring consistency and compliance across your entire portfolio. We understand the challenges involved in managing fire door safety across large estates and work with you to implement effective, long-term solutions that reduce risk and ensure compliance with regulations.
Do you act as a fire door contractor for inspection and compliance work?: Yes, we act as a fire door contractor for all inspection, maintenance, and compliance-related work. Our team conducts thorough fire door inspections, assessing doors for compliance with fire safety standards and identifying any issues that could compromise their performance in a fire. Following our inspections, we provide clear and actionable reports, outlining any necessary repairs or upgrades and prioritising work based on fire safety risk. We also offer fire door repair services to address faults, such as broken closers, faulty seals, or damaged hardware, and ensure that all repairs meet regulatory requirements. By partnering with us, you can trust that your fire doors will be kept in top condition, with documented evidence of compliance for audits and inspections.
What types of commercial fire doors do you supply?: We supply a range of commercial fire doors to suit different building types and risk profiles. We provide FD30 and FD60 fire doors, which offer 30 and 60 minutes of fire resistance, respectively, and are commonly used in corridors, offices, and protected escape routes. We also supply glazed fire doors, which allow visibility while maintaining fire protection, ideal for environments where light and visibility are important. Additionally, we offer flat entrance fire doors for residential and mixed-use buildings, ensuring proper compartmentation and fire safety. All doors supplied by us are certified and meet regulatory standards, offering reliable protection in case of fire.
How often should fire doors be inspected?: Fire doors should be inspected regularly to ensure they remain compliant and functional. While the exact frequency depends on the level of use and risk profile of your building, best practice suggests that high-traffic doors should be inspected every six months, while doors in lower-use areas can be inspected annually. Routine inspections ensure that doors close properly, seals remain intact, and hardware is functioning correctly. Regular inspections also help identify any early signs of wear or damage, allowing you to address issues before they compromise the door’s performance. As part of our fire door inspection services, we can develop a tailored inspection schedule based on your specific building needs.
What happens if a fire door fails inspection?: If a fire door fails an inspection, we’ll assess the issues and provide a clear scope of remedial work required to restore compliance. Common issues found during inspections include damaged seals, faulty self-closers, missing signage, or excessive gaps that could compromise the door’s fire-resisting performance. In some cases, the door may need to be repaired or replaced if it no longer meets fire safety standards. Once the necessary repairs or replacements are made, we will conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure the door is fully compliant and functioning as intended. Our fire door repair services include everything from minor fixes, like adjusting closers, to major repairs, such as replacing entire door assemblies or frames.
Can you carry out repairs following a failed fire door inspection?: Yes, we provide comprehensive fire door repair services following a failed inspection. Once the issue is identified, we prioritise repairs based on fire safety risk and work efficiently to resolve the problem. Whether it’s fixing minor issues like damaged seals or making major repairs such as re-hanging a door or replacing a damaged frame, our team is equipped to handle all types of fire door repairs. Our goal is to restore the door’s compliance with fire safety regulations and ensure that it continues to provide the necessary protection in case of a fire. We also provide detailed reports and recommendations for ongoing maintenance to prevent future failures.
Do you provide documentation and compliance reporting?: Yes, we provide full documentation and compliance reporting for all fire door inspections, maintenance, and repairs. After each inspection, we provide a comprehensive report detailing the condition of the doors, any issues identified, and the recommended actions. If repairs or upgrades are needed, we provide a detailed scope of work and estimated timelines for completion. This documentation serves as a valuable record for compliance purposes, helping you meet regulatory requirements and maintain a clear audit trail for fire safety inspections.
How do I get started with fire door services from AFP Wales?: Getting started is easy; simply contact us to arrange a site survey or consultation. We’ll assess your fire door needs, provide a detailed quote for any required work, and discuss a plan for installation, inspection, maintenance, or repairs. Our team will guide you through the entire process, ensuring that your fire doors remain compliant, functional, and fully operational.
