Integral garage fire doors: our service in Hartlepool
From the TS26 postcode district outwards, we take on integral garage fire doors across Hartlepool for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Hartlepool protect escape routes in care homes, schools and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For homes in Hartlepool with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. We fit garage fire doors in Hartlepool with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Intumescent and smoke seals
Fire door law for Hartlepool properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hartlepool are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Hartlepool block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Do you cover TS26 and nearby postcodes?

It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
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.
