Integral garage fire doors: our service in Crewe
We provide integral garage fire doors in Crewe (CW1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Crewe has a broad mix of buildings, including HMOs, family homes after loft conversions and low-rise blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For homes in Crewe with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. We fit garage fire doors in Crewe with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
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:
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
The regulations behind fire doors in Crewe
England's framework applies in Crewe. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Crewe, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you cover CW1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Crewe including CW1, and nearby towns such as Winsford and Kidsgrove. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Crewe building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
