Integral garage fire doors: our service in Banbury
Our integral garage fire doors service covers Banbury and the wider Oxfordshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Banbury, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We fit garage fire doors in Banbury with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Banbury, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
The regulations behind fire doors in Banbury
Fire doors in Banbury fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Banbury above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
Which buildings in Banbury need integral garage fire doors?
The need for integral garage fire doors usually arises in houses with integral garages or homes being sold, and sometimes homes being extended. In Banbury we can work for you directly or alongside your builder, and single doors are as welcome as whole-house jobs.
