Integral garage fire doors: our service in St Neots
From the PE19 postcode district outwards, we take on integral garage fire doors across St Neots for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in St Neots protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, houses with integral garages and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For homes in St Neots 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 St Neots, 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
The regulations behind fire doors in St Neots
The rules that apply to fire doors in St Neots 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 St Neots 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.
