Getting integral garage fire doors right in Hadley Wood
If you need integral garage fire doors in Hadley Wood, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Hadley Wood range from student accommodation to restaurants and clinics. 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 Hadley Wood with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Hadley Wood, 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
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Intumescent and smoke seals
The regulations behind fire doors in Hadley Wood
Fire doors in Hadley Wood 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 Hadley Wood 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.
