Why the garage door matters
Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.
As standard, the work covers:
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
Rules and responsibilities in Rutherglen
Rutherglen 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 Rutherglen.
