Integral garage fire doors in Ayrshire, done to the evidence
We provide integral garage fire doors across Ayrshire, covering 3 towns and 31 postcode districts, including Kilmarnock, Ayr and Irvine.
We fit garage fire doors in Ayrshire with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. For homes in Ayrshire with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
Ayrshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Why the garage door matters
Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.
Rules and responsibilities in Ayrshire
In Ayrshire, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.
