Which fire door rules apply in Royal Tunbridge Wells?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Royal Tunbridge Wells are England's.

Where a Royal Tunbridge Wells 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.

Will building control accept the 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.
