Looking for integral garage fire doors in Northampton? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Northampton and the wider Northamptonshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Northampton range from purpose-built blocks of flats to student accommodation and schools. 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 Northampton, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Northampton 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.
What you get:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
Rules and responsibilities in Northampton
The rules that apply to fire doors in Northampton 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 Northampton 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.

Common questions
Do you cover NN1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Northampton including NN1, and nearby towns such as Wellingborough and Daventry. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Northampton building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
