What integral garage fire doors in Swadlincote should include
Our integral garage fire doors service covers Swadlincote and the wider Derbyshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Swadlincote, fire door work covers everything from schools to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Swadlincote with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. If you are selling a home in Swadlincote, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
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.
What you get:
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
Fire door law for Swadlincote properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Swadlincote 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 Swadlincote 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.

It is. We cover Swadlincote in Derbyshire and neighbouring towns such as Burton upon Trent. There is no charge for the survey.

We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Does the garage door need a closer?
Building control will normally expect the door between an integral garage and the house to be self-closing. We fit closers that shut and latch the door gently.
