Getting integral garage fire doors right in Norwich
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Norwich, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Norwich range from offices to care homes and converted period houses. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If you are selling a home in Norwich, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Norwich with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Intumescent and smoke seals
Fire door law for Norwich properties
In Norwich, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Norwich building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Which buildings in Norwich need integral garage fire doors?
Typical settings for integral garage fire doors include homes being extended, houses with integral garages and new-build homes. In Norwich, as elsewhere, the work is usually commissioned by homeowners, often alongside a builder or after a building control visit, so we fit around the household and leave the product details building control asks for.

Common questions
Do you cover NR1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Norwich including NR1, and nearby towns such as Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
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.
