Why the garage door matters
Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.
What you get:
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step

Do you cover NG17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Kirkby in Ashfield including NG17, and nearby towns such as Sutton in Ashfield and Mansfield. The survey and written quote are free.

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.
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.
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.
