What integral garage fire doors in Bedfordshire should include
Our integral garage fire doors service runs throughout Bedfordshire. Main towns include Luton, Bedford and Dunstable, and we cover the smaller places in between.
For homes in Bedfordshire with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. We fit garage fire doors in Bedfordshire with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
Bedfordshire 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.
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.
Fire door law for Bedfordshire properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bedfordshire are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Bedfordshire block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
