Getting integral garage fire doors right in Long Eaton
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Long Eaton, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Long Eaton has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, houses with integral garages and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If you are selling a home in Long Eaton, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Long Eaton with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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:
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
Which fire door rules apply in Long Eaton?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Long Eaton 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 Long Eaton 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 work in Long Eaton?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Long Eaton and the surrounding area, including Ilkeston and Nottingham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Long Eaton 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.
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.
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.
