Integral garage fire doors in Lincolnshire: what's involved
Our integral garage fire doors service runs throughout Lincolnshire. Main towns include Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe, and we cover the smaller places in between.
We fit garage fire doors in Lincolnshire with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. For homes in Lincolnshire with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
Wherever your building is in Lincolnshire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Lincolnshire?
Fire doors in Lincolnshire fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Lincolnshire above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions
Do you provide integral garage fire doors across Lincolnshire?
Yes. We cover all of Lincolnshire, including Lincoln and Grimsby. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Does my garage door need to be a fire 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.
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.
