What integral garage fire doors in Inverness should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Inverness, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Inverness has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, houses with integral garages and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For homes in Inverness 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 Inverness with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
Fire door law for Inverness properties
Inverness is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Inverness.
Which buildings in Inverness need integral garage fire doors?
Typical settings for integral garage fire doors include homes being extended, homes being sold and houses with integral garages. In Inverness, 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 work in Inverness?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Inverness and the surrounding area, including Elgin and Perth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Inverness?
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 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.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
