Integral garage fire doors: our service in Somerset
Whether your building is in Bath, Weston-super-Mare or a smaller place in Somerset, we can provide integral garage fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
We fit garage fire doors in Somerset with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Somerset, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
Somerset has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Somerset
In Somerset, 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 Somerset 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 Somerset?
Yes. We cover all of Somerset, including Bath and Weston-super-Mare. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
