Integral garage fire doors in New Malden, done to the evidence
Our integral garage fire doors service covers New Malden and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around New Malden, fire door work covers everything from care homes to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in New Malden 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 New Malden 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.
What you get:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Intumescent and smoke seals

England's framework applies in New Malden. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in New Malden, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Is New Malden within your coverage area?
It is. We cover New Malden in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Surbiton. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in New Malden?
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.
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 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.
