Integral garage fire doors for Leicestershire buildings
Across Leicestershire, from Leicester to Loughborough, we survey, supply and fit integral garage fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
We fit garage fire doors in Leicestershire with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. For homes in Leicestershire with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
Leicestershire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Fire door law for Leicestershire properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Leicestershire 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 Leicestershire 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.

Yes. We cover all of Leicestershire, including Leicester and Loughborough. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
