Fire doors are one of the most important safety features in any building, helping to slow the spread of fire and smoke while protecting escape routes and saving lives. At CH Carpentry & Building, we provide professional fire door installation, inspections and maintenance for commercial, public sector and residential properties across Blackwood and throughout South Wales.
As a FireQual accredited company, we're trained to install and maintain fire doors in line with current fire safety standards. Whether you need new fire doors fitted, existing doors inspected, or ongoing maintenance to keep them performing as they should, you can rely on our experienced team to carry out the work safely, professionally and to a high standard.
Fire doors are only effective if they're correctly installed and properly maintained. Over time, everyday use can lead to worn hinges, damaged seals, faulty closers or doors that no longer close correctly. Even small defects can affect the performance of a fire door, which is why regular inspections and maintenance are so important.
We work with businesses, landlords, housing associations, local authorities and property managers to ensure their fire doors remain compliant and fit for purpose. Whether it's a single fire door or an entire building, we'll assess every component, identify any issues and carry out the necessary repairs or replacements to restore full compliance.
Our team can install new timber fire doors, replace damaged ironmongery, fit intumescent strips and smoke seals, adjust door closers, replace hinges and ensure every door closes and latches correctly. We understand the importance of compliance and always work carefully to ensure every installation or repair meets the latest regulations.
Alongside fire door services, we also provide ongoing property maintenance for commercial buildings and managed properties, allowing our clients to deal with one trusted contractor for multiple services. This approach has helped us build long-standing relationships with organisations such as Hedyn and Parkmans Estate Agents, who rely on us for quality workmanship and dependable service.


Every fire door is made up of several components that all need to work together correctly in the event of a fire. During our inspections and maintenance visits, we carefully check every part of the door to ensure it's safe, compliant and operating as intended. We inspect:
Fire door leaf for damage, warping or excessive wear
Door frame to ensure it's secure and free from defects
Hinges for wear, correct fixings and smooth operation
Door closers to make sure the door closes fully and latches correctly
Intumescent strips for damage or missing sections
Smoke seals to ensure they're intact and correctly fitted
Fire door signage to confirm it's present and compliant
Fire-rated glazing for damage and correct installation
Locks, latches and ironmongery to ensure they're suitable and working correctly
Door gaps and clearances to make sure they meet current fire safety standards
