Integral garage fire doors: our service in Willesden
We provide integral garage fire doors in Willesden (NW10 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Willesden range from student accommodation to mixed-use office buildings and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We fit garage fire doors in Willesden with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Willesden, 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.
What you get:
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
