What integral garage fire doors in Heswall should include
If you need integral garage fire doors in Heswall, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Heswall, fire door work covers everything from small offices to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If you are selling a home in Heswall, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Heswall 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
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
What the rules say for Heswall
The rules that apply to fire doors in Heswall 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 Heswall 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.

How quickly can you survey in Heswall?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
