Getting integral garage fire doors right in Gosport
We provide integral garage fire doors in Gosport (PO12 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Gosport range from schools to family homes after loft conversions and low-rise blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If you are selling a home in Gosport, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Gosport 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.
What you get:
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Self-closer set gently but positively
Fire door law for Gosport properties
England's framework applies in Gosport. 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 Gosport, 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Gosport
Typical settings for integral garage fire doors include new-build homes, homes being sold and houses with integral garages. In Gosport, 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.

Common questions
Do you cover PO12 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Gosport including PO12, and nearby towns such as Portsmouth and Fareham. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Gosport?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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 my garage door need to be a fire door?
If the garage is integral to the house, Approved Document B in England expects the connecting door to be a fire door with smoke control. Requirements in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are similar in purpose but set out in their own guidance.
