Getting integral garage fire doors right in Strood
Our integral garage fire doors service in Strood is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Strood range from small offices to light industrial buildings and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If you are selling a home in Strood, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Strood with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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:
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
Which fire door rules apply in Strood?
England's framework applies in Strood. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Strood, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you cover ME2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Strood including ME2, and nearby towns such as Rochester and Chatham. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Will building control accept the door?
We supply certified products and leave product and certificate details so your building control body or solicitor can see what was fitted. The final decision is theirs.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
