Integral garage fire doors in Weston-super-Mare: what's involved
Our integral garage fire doors service covers Weston-super-Mare and the wider Somerset area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Weston-super-Mare protect escape routes in schools, HMOs and industrial estates alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If you are selling a home in Weston-super-Mare, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Weston-super-Mare with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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:
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Intumescent and smoke seals
Rules and responsibilities in Weston-super-Mare
The rules that apply to fire doors in Weston-super-Mare are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Weston-super-Mare block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
