Integral garage fire doors in Hawarden, done to the evidence
If you need integral garage fire doors in Hawarden, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Hawarden protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, care homes and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If you are selling a home in Hawarden, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Hawarden with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
Why the garage door matters
Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.
On a typical job that means:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
Fire door law for Hawarden properties
Hawarden is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.
