Integral garage fire doors for Lichfield buildings
We provide integral garage fire doors in Lichfield (WS13 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Lichfield protect escape routes in houses with integral garages, light industrial buildings and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
If you are selling a home in Lichfield, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Lichfield with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
The regulations behind fire doors in Lichfield
The rules that apply to fire doors in Lichfield 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 Lichfield 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.
Which buildings in Lichfield need integral garage fire doors?
The need for integral garage fire doors usually arises in houses with integral garages or homes being extended, and sometimes new-build homes. In Lichfield we can work for you directly or alongside your builder, and single doors are as welcome as whole-house jobs.

Will building control accept the door?
We supply certified products and leave product and certificate details so your building control body or solicitor can see what was fitted. The final decision is theirs.
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.
