Integral garage fire doors in Peckham, done to the evidence
From the SE15 postcode district outwards, we take on integral garage fire doors across Peckham for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Peckham, fire door work covers everything from shared houses to clinics. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Peckham 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 Peckham, 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:
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
What the rules say for Peckham
In Peckham, 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 Peckham 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 cover SE15 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Peckham including SE15, and nearby towns such as Brixton and Greenwich. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Will building control accept the door?
We supply certified products and leave product and certificate details so your building control body or solicitor can see what was fitted. The final decision is theirs.
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.
