Integral garage fire doors in Hertfordshire: what's involved

We fit garage fire doors in Hertfordshire with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Hertfordshire, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Hertfordshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Why the garage door matters
Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.
Which fire door rules apply in Hertfordshire?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hertfordshire 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 Hertfordshire 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.
