Getting integral garage fire doors right in Greenwich
Our integral garage fire doors service in Greenwich is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Greenwich range from purpose-built blocks of flats to restaurants and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We fit garage fire doors in Greenwich with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Greenwich, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
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.
What you get:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
The regulations behind fire doors in Greenwich
Fire doors in Greenwich 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Greenwich sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For residential buildings in Greenwich 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.

It is. We cover Greenwich in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Blackheath. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Greenwich?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
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.
