Integral garage fire doors in Brighton: what's involved
When you book integral garage fire doors in Brighton, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Brighton has a broad mix of buildings, including hotels, converted flats and shared houses, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If you are selling a home in Brighton, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Brighton 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.
What you get:
- 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 Brighton?
England's framework applies in Brighton. 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 Brighton, 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 Brighton need integral garage fire doors?
Typical settings for integral garage fire doors include new-build homes, homes being extended and homes being sold. In Brighton, 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.
