Integral garage fire doors for Falmouth buildings
Looking for integral garage fire doors in Falmouth? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Falmouth and the wider Cornwall area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Falmouth protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, small offices and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We fit garage fire doors in Falmouth with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Falmouth, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
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.
What you get:
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
Fire door law for Falmouth properties
England's framework applies in Falmouth. 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 Falmouth, 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.
Which buildings in Falmouth need integral garage fire doors?
The need for integral garage fire doors usually arises in houses with integral garages or homes being extended, and sometimes new-build homes. In Falmouth we can work for you directly or alongside your builder, and single doors are as welcome as whole-house jobs.

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.
Does the garage door need a closer?
Building control will normally expect the door between an integral garage and the house to be self-closing. We fit closers that shut and latch the door gently.
