What integral garage fire doors in Edinburgh should include
If you need integral garage fire doors in Edinburgh, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Edinburgh protect escape routes in restaurants, care homes and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For homes in Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh 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:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Self-closer set gently but positively
Rules and responsibilities in Edinburgh
In Edinburgh, fire doors are specified against Scotland's Technical Handbooks (Section 2: Fire) under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, rather than Approved Document B. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
England's regulation 10 does not apply in Scotland. We follow the building's fire risk assessment and, where building work needs a warrant, the local authority's requirements.

Common questions
Do you cover EH2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Edinburgh including EH2, and nearby towns such as Musselburgh and Kirkcaldy. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Edinburgh 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.
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.
