Integral garage fire doors in Stowmarket, done to the evidence
If you need integral garage fire doors in Stowmarket, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Stowmarket, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Stowmarket with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. If you are selling a home in Stowmarket, 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
Fire door law for Stowmarket properties
In Stowmarket, 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 Stowmarket 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.
Which buildings in Stowmarket need integral garage fire doors?
The need for integral garage fire doors usually arises in homes being sold or new-build homes, and sometimes homes being extended. In Stowmarket we can work for you directly or alongside your builder, and single doors are as welcome as whole-house jobs.

Questions
Do you cover IP14 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stowmarket including IP14, and nearby towns such as Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
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.
