Integral garage fire doors in Canary Wharf

Integral garage fire doors for Canary Wharf buildings

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

Buildings in and around Canary Wharf range from purpose-built blocks of flats to hotels and restaurants. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

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

Why the garage door matters

Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.

As standard, the work covers:

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

What the rules say for Canary Wharf

Fire doors in Canary Wharf fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

For residential buildings in Canary Wharf above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
