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:

• Certified FD30S door or doorset
• Survey of the opening, threshold and step
• Product details for building control or your solicitor
• Threshold detailing for smoke control
