Integral garage fire doors for Cheshunt buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Cheshunt, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Cheshunt, fire door work covers everything from small offices to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Cheshunt with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. We fit garage fire doors in Cheshunt with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
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:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
Fire door law for Cheshunt properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Cheshunt 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 Cheshunt 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.
