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:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Product details for building control or your solicitor

Questions
Is Lisburn within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Lisburn in County Antrim and neighbouring towns such as Belfast. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Lisburn 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.
Does my garage door need to be a fire door?
If the garage is integral to the house, Approved Document B in England expects the connecting door to be a fire door with smoke control. Requirements in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are similar in purpose but set out in their own guidance.
