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:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
Which fire door rules apply in Woodford Green?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Woodford Green are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Woodford Green block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Which buildings in Woodford Green need integral garage fire doors?
The need for integral garage fire doors usually arises in new-build homes or houses with integral garages, and sometimes homes being extended. In Woodford Green we can work for you directly or alongside your builder, and single doors are as welcome as whole-house jobs.

Common questions
Do you work in Woodford Green?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Woodford Green and the surrounding area, including Chingford and Walthamstow. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Woodford Green?
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.
Does my garage door need to be a fire door?
If the garage is integral to the house, Approved Document B in England expects the connecting door to be a fire door with smoke control. Requirements in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are similar in purpose but set out in their own guidance.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
