Integral garage fire doors for Shrewsbury buildings
When you book integral garage fire doors in Shrewsbury, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Shrewsbury, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We fit garage fire doors in Shrewsbury with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Shrewsbury, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
Rules and responsibilities in Shrewsbury
In Shrewsbury, 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 Shrewsbury 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.

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.
