When you might need a new garage door
The usual triggers are building control flagging the door during a conversion or extension, a house sale survey raising it, or the discovery that the original door has been swapped for a standard internal door. Some garage conversions remove the need altogether; others create new requirements. Our guide to fire doors in houses explains when they are needed.

Common questions
Do you provide integral garage fire doors across Argyll & Bute?
Yes. We cover all of Argyll & Bute. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Does my garage door need to be a fire door?
If the garage is integral to the house, Approved Document B in England expects the connecting door to be a fire door with smoke control. Requirements in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are similar in purpose but set out in their own guidance.
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.
