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.

Questions
Do you provide integral garage fire doors across County Down?
Yes. We cover all of County Down, including Bangor and Newtownards. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
