Getting integral garage fire doors right in Surrey
Our integral garage fire doors service runs throughout Surrey. Main towns include Woking, Guildford and Esher, and we cover the smaller places in between.
For homes in Surrey 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 Surrey, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Surrey can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Why the garage door matters
Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.
What the rules say for Surrey
Fire doors in Surrey fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Surrey above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
