Integral garage fire doors: our service in Epsom
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Epsom, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Epsom has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, small offices and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If you are selling a home in Epsom, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Epsom with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
Which fire door rules apply in Epsom?
In Epsom, 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 Epsom 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Epsom

Questions from Epsom
Do you cover KT17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Epsom including KT17, and nearby towns such as Ewell and Banstead. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Epsom?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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 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.
