If you are selling a home in Aldershot, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Aldershot with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
