Getting integral garage fire doors right in Hailsham
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hailsham, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Hailsham range from family homes after loft conversions to small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For homes in Hailsham 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 Hailsham, 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:
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Threshold detailing for smoke control

Questions from Hailsham
Do you work in Hailsham?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Hailsham and the surrounding area, including Eastbourne and Seaford. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Hailsham?
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.
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.
