Integral garage fire doors in St Austell, done to the evidence
When you book integral garage fire doors in St Austell, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in St Austell protect escape routes in small offices, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If you are selling a home in St Austell, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in St Austell 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.
What you get:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Self-closer set gently but positively

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
