Integral garage fire doors in Fulham, done to the evidence
When you book integral garage fire doors in Fulham, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Fulham, fire door work covers everything from mixed-use office buildings to shared houses. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If you are selling a home in Fulham, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Fulham with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
Rules and responsibilities in Fulham
Fire doors in Fulham 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 Fulham 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.
