Integral garage fire doors for Andover buildings
Our integral garage fire doors service covers Andover and the wider Hampshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Andover protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If you are selling a home in Andover, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Andover with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
What the rules say for Andover
In Andover, 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.
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 Andover 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.
Where integral garage fire doors fit in Andover

Questions from Andover
Do you cover SP10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Andover including SP10, and nearby towns such as Winchester and Newbury. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Andover building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
