Integral garage fire doors in Tewkesbury

Integral garage fire doors in Tewkesbury: what's involved

Looking for integral garage fire doors in Tewkesbury? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Tewkesbury and the wider Gloucestershire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Buildings in and around Tewkesbury range from schools to houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

If you are selling a home in Tewkesbury, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Tewkesbury with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.

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:

• Product details for building control or your solicitor
• Self-closer set gently but positively
• Intumescent and smoke seals
• Certified FD30S door or doorset
