Integral garage fire doors in Ashton-under-Lyne: what's involved
Our integral garage fire doors service in Ashton-under-Lyne is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Ashton-under-Lyne, small blocks of flats, care homes and small offices all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
For homes in Ashton-under-Lyne 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 Ashton-under-Lyne, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
What we fit
We fit a certified FD30S doorset or leaf with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closer set to close and latch the door without slamming, and a threshold detail that keeps the smoke seal effective. We can match the style of your other internal doors where the certified range allows.
Each installation includes:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Self-closer set gently but positively

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.
