Integral garage fire doors: our service in Aberdeen
From the AB11 postcode district outwards, we take on integral garage fire doors across Aberdeen for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Aberdeen, HMOs, industrial units and offices all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
For homes in Aberdeen with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. If you are selling a home in Aberdeen, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
What we fit
We fit a certified FD30S doorset or leaf with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closer set to close and latch the door without slamming, and a threshold detail that keeps the smoke seal effective. We can match the style of your other internal doors where the certified range allows.
Each installation includes:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
The regulations behind fire doors in Aberdeen
Aberdeen is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Aberdeen.
Which buildings in Aberdeen need integral garage fire doors?
Typical settings for integral garage fire doors include houses with integral garages, new-build homes and homes being sold. In Aberdeen, as elsewhere, the work is usually commissioned by homeowners, often alongside a builder or after a building control visit, so we fit around the household and leave the product details building control asks for.

Common questions
Is Aberdeen within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Aberdeen in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire & Moray and neighbouring towns such as Arbroath. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Aberdeen?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Does the garage door need a closer?
Building control will normally expect the door between an integral garage and the house to be self-closing. We fit closers that shut and latch the door gently.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
