Garage fire door installation in Streatham

Integral garage fire doors for Streatham buildings

Our integral garage fire doors service in Streatham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Buildings in and around Streatham range from care homes to restaurants and mixed-use office buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

For homes in Streatham 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 Streatham 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
• Product details for building control or your solicitor
• Self-closer set gently but positively
• Threshold detailing for smoke control

Rules and responsibilities in Streatham

In Streatham, 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 Streatham 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.
