Integral garage fire doors: our service in Poole
Looking for integral garage fire doors in Poole? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Poole and the wider Dorset area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Poole protect escape routes in care homes, industrial units and GP surgeries alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If you are selling a home in Poole, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Poole with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
Which fire door rules apply in Poole?
In Poole, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Poole building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Who needs integral garage fire doors in Poole?
Typical settings for integral garage fire doors include new-build homes, homes being sold and houses with integral garages. In Poole, 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
Is Poole within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Poole in Dorset and neighbouring towns such as Bournemouth. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Poole 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 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.
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.
