Integral garage fire doors for High Wycombe buildings
We provide integral garage fire doors in High Wycombe (HP11 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around High Wycombe, HMOs, GP surgeries and purpose-built flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
For homes in High Wycombe 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 High Wycombe, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
The regulations behind fire doors in High Wycombe
In High Wycombe, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your High Wycombe building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Is High Wycombe within your coverage area?
It is. We cover High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire and neighbouring towns such as Amersham. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in High Wycombe?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Will building control accept the door?
We supply certified products and leave product and certificate details so your building control body or solicitor can see what was fitted. The final decision is theirs.
