Integral garage fire doors for Bridgend buildings
From the CF31 postcode district outwards, we take on integral garage fire doors across Bridgend for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Bridgend, fire door work covers everything from schools to light industrial buildings. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Bridgend with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. We fit garage fire doors in Bridgend with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
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:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
