Garage fire door installation in Muswell Hill

What integral garage fire doors in Muswell Hill should include

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Muswell Hill, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

In and around Muswell Hill, fire door work covers everything from restaurants to shared houses. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

For homes in Muswell Hill with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. We fit garage fire doors in Muswell Hill with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.

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:

• Survey of the opening, threshold and step
• Threshold detailing for smoke control
• Self-closer set gently but positively
• Certified FD30S door or doorset
