Getting integral garage fire doors right in Cricklewood
Our integral garage fire doors service covers Cricklewood and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Cricklewood has a broad mix of buildings, including restaurants, converted flats and purpose-built blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We fit garage fire doors in Cricklewood with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Cricklewood, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
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.
What you get:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
Which fire door rules apply in Cricklewood?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Cricklewood 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Cricklewood sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Cricklewood 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.

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.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
