Integral garage fire doors in Havant: what's involved
We provide integral garage fire doors in Havant (PO9 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Havant has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, houses with integral garages and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For homes in Havant with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. If you are selling a home in Havant, 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
Rules and responsibilities in Havant
England's framework applies in Havant. 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 Havant, 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.
Where integral garage fire doors fit in Havant

In Havant, 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.

Questions
Do you work in Havant?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Havant and the surrounding area, including Waterlooville and Portsmouth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Havant?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
