Integral garage fire doors: our service in Chelsea
If you need integral garage fire doors in Chelsea, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Chelsea, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to restaurants. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We fit garage fire doors in Chelsea with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Chelsea, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Intumescent and smoke seals
Rules and responsibilities in Chelsea
England's framework applies in Chelsea. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. Enforcement of fire safety law in Chelsea sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Chelsea, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

In Chelsea, as elsewhere, the work is usually commissioned by homeowners, often alongside a builder or after a building control visit, so we fit around the household and leave the product details building control asks for.

Common questions
Do you cover SW3 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Chelsea including SW3, and nearby towns such as Battersea and Fulham. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Chelsea building?
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 the garage door need a closer?
Building control will normally expect the door between an integral garage and the house to be self-closing. We fit closers that shut and latch the door gently.
