What integral garage fire doors in Hove should include
Looking for integral garage fire doors in Hove? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Hove and the wider East Sussex area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Hove, fire door work covers everything from schools to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Hove with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. We fit garage fire doors in Hove with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
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:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
Which fire door rules apply in Hove?
In Hove, 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 Hove 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 Hove?

Do you cover BN3 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hove including BN3, and nearby towns such as Brighton and Portslade. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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 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.
