Integral garage fire doors for Hanworth buildings
We provide integral garage fire doors in Hanworth (TW13 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Hanworth has a broad mix of buildings, including shared houses, restaurants and student accommodation, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For homes in Hanworth 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 Hanworth, 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Intumescent and smoke seals
The regulations behind fire doors in Hanworth
In Hanworth, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Hanworth building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions
Do you work in Hanworth?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Hanworth and the surrounding area, including Hampton and Feltham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Hanworth?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Does the garage door need a closer?
Building control will normally expect the door between an integral garage and the house to be self-closing. We fit closers that shut and latch the door gently.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
