Integral garage fire doors in Eastleigh, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Eastleigh, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Eastleigh, fire door work covers everything from low-rise blocks of flats to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We fit garage fire doors in Eastleigh with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Eastleigh, 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
Rules and responsibilities in Eastleigh
The rules that apply to fire doors in Eastleigh 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.
Where a Eastleigh 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 Eastleigh need integral garage fire doors?
The need for integral garage fire doors usually arises in homes being sold or houses with integral garages, and sometimes homes being extended. In Eastleigh we can work for you directly or alongside your builder, and single doors are as welcome as whole-house jobs.

Questions from Eastleigh
Do you cover SO50 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Eastleigh including SO50, and nearby towns such as Southampton and Winchester. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Will building control accept the door?
We supply certified products and leave product and certificate details so your building control body or solicitor can see what was fitted. The final decision is theirs.
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.
