Integral garage fire doors in Spalding

What integral garage fire doors in Spalding should include

We provide integral garage fire doors in Spalding (PE11 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Around Spalding, small offices, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

We fit garage fire doors in Spalding with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Spalding, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.

When you might need a new garage door

The usual triggers are building control flagging the door during a conversion or extension, a house sale survey raising it, or the discovery that the original door has been swapped for a standard internal door. Some garage conversions remove the need altogether; others create new requirements. Our guide to fire doors in houses explains when they are needed.

As standard, the work covers:

• Certified FD30S door or doorset
• Survey of the opening, threshold and step
• Threshold detailing for smoke control
• Intumescent and smoke seals
