Integral garage fire doors for Peterborough buildings
When you book integral garage fire doors in Peterborough, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Peterborough, offices, purpose-built flats and schools 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.
If you are selling a home in Peterborough, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Peterborough with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
What the rules say for Peterborough
In Peterborough, 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 Peterborough 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.
