Integral garage fire doors for Barnet buildings
From the EN5 postcode district outwards, we take on integral garage fire doors across Barnet for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Barnet protect escape routes in care homes, hotels and converted flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For homes in Barnet 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 Barnet 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
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
The regulations behind fire doors in Barnet
In Barnet, 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
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 Barnet 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.
Which buildings in Barnet need integral garage fire doors?

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.
