Integral garage fire doors: our service in Bristol
Our integral garage fire doors service covers all of Bristol, across postcode districts including BS1, BS99 and BS8.
We fit garage fire doors in Bristol with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. For homes in Bristol with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
Wherever your building is in Bristol, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
What the rules say for Bristol
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bristol 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 Bristol 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.

Integral garage fire doors questions
Do you provide integral garage fire doors across Bristol?
Yes. We cover all of Bristol. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
