Integral garage fire doors in Ewell, done to the evidence
From the KT17 postcode district outwards, we take on integral garage fire doors across Ewell for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Ewell range from light industrial buildings to care homes and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For homes in Ewell with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. We fit garage fire doors in Ewell with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
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.
What you get:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
Which fire door rules apply in Ewell?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Ewell 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 Ewell 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.
