For homes in Castlereagh 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 Castlereagh, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
