Integral garage fire doors in Coulsdon: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Coulsdon, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Coulsdon, mixed-use office buildings, shared houses and schools 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 Coulsdon with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. If you are selling a home in Coulsdon, 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:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Intumescent and smoke seals
Rules and responsibilities in Coulsdon
The rules that apply to fire doors in Coulsdon are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Coulsdon block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
