Integral garage fire doors: our service in Ashford (Surrey)
From the TW15 postcode district outwards, we take on integral garage fire doors across Ashford (Surrey) for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Ashford (Surrey) range from small blocks of flats to houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If you are selling a home in Ashford (Surrey), we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Ashford (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.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step

Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
