Around Bexley, student accommodation, clinics and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

For homes in Bexley 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 Bexley with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.

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:

• Self-closer set gently but positively
• Product details for building control or your solicitor
• Survey of the opening, threshold and step
• Threshold detailing for smoke control
