Integral garage fire doors for Devon buildings
Across Devon, from Plymouth to Exeter, we survey, supply and fit integral garage fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
We fit garage fire doors in Devon with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. For homes in Devon with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Devon can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
What the rules say for Devon
England's framework applies in Devon. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Devon, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
