What integral garage fire doors in Hastings should include
We provide integral garage fire doors in Hastings (TN34 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Hastings protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, HMOs and high-street shops alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We fit garage fire doors in Hastings with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Hastings, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
Which fire door rules apply in Hastings?
England's framework applies in Hastings. 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 Hastings, 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.

Questions
Do you work in Hastings?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Hastings and the surrounding area, including Bexhill-on-Sea and Hailsham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Hastings?
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.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
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.
