Integral garage fire doors: our service in Northumberland
Across Northumberland, from Blyth to Cramlington, we survey, supply and fit integral garage fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
If you are selling a home in Northumberland, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Northumberland with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
Wherever your building is in Northumberland, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Fire door law for Northumberland properties
In Northumberland, 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 Northumberland 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.

Common questions
Do you provide integral garage fire doors across Northumberland?
Yes. We cover all of Northumberland, including Blyth and Cramlington. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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 the garage door need a closer?
Building control will normally expect the door between an integral garage and the house to be self-closing. We fit closers that shut and latch the door gently.
