Integral garage fire doors in Broadstairs, done to the evidence
Our integral garage fire doors service in Broadstairs is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Broadstairs has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, small offices and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For homes in Broadstairs 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 Broadstairs 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Intumescent and smoke seals
What the rules say for Broadstairs
The rules that apply to fire doors in Broadstairs 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 Broadstairs 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.
