Getting integral garage fire doors right in Greenock
Our integral garage fire doors service in Greenock is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Greenock has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, houses with integral garages and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We fit garage fire doors in Greenock with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Greenock, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
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:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
Fire door law for Greenock properties
Greenock is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Greenock.
Which buildings in Greenock need integral garage fire doors?
Typical settings for integral garage fire doors include houses with integral garages, new-build homes and homes being extended. In Greenock, 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.

Questions from Greenock
Do you cover PA15 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Greenock including PA15, and nearby towns such as Vale of Leven and Clydebank. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Greenock 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.
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.
