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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Intumescent and smoke seals
Rules and responsibilities in Dunfermline
Scottish rules apply to fire doors in Dunfermline. The Technical Handbooks under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 set the standard for new and altered doors, and the local authority issues building warrants where they are needed. Workplaces and other non-domestic premises are covered by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
Residential common parts in Dunfermline are treated differently from England, so we check the fire risk assessment and any landlord or factor requirements before specifying work.

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

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.
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 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.
