Getting integral garage fire doors right in Exmouth
When you book integral garage fire doors in Exmouth, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Exmouth protect escape routes in small offices, schools and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For homes in Exmouth 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 Exmouth, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
What the rules say for Exmouth
England's framework applies in Exmouth. 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 Exmouth, 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.
Which buildings in Exmouth need integral garage fire doors?

In Exmouth, as elsewhere, the work is usually commissioned by homeowners, often alongside a builder or after a building control visit, so we fit around the household and leave the product details building control asks for.

Questions from Exmouth
Do you cover EX8 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Exmouth including EX8, and nearby towns such as Heavitree and Exeter. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Exmouth 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.
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.
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.
