Integral garage fire doors: our service in Basingstoke
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Basingstoke, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Basingstoke, fire door work covers everything from schools to converted period houses. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We fit garage fire doors in Basingstoke with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Basingstoke, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
The regulations behind fire doors in Basingstoke
England's framework applies in Basingstoke. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Basingstoke, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Which buildings in Basingstoke need integral garage fire doors?

In Basingstoke, as elsewhere, the work is usually commissioned by homeowners, often alongside a builder or after a building control visit, so we fit around the household and leave the product details building control asks for.
