Integral garage fire doors: our service in Luton
When you book integral garage fire doors in Luton, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Luton, fire door work covers everything from care homes to restaurants. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Luton 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 Luton with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
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.
What you get:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Intumescent and smoke seals
Which fire door rules apply in Luton?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Luton 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 Luton 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.
