What integral garage fire doors in Horley should include
Our integral garage fire doors service in Horley is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Horley protect escape routes in schools, small offices and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For homes in Horley 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 Horley 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Self-closer set gently but positively
Which fire door rules apply in Horley?
In Horley, 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 Horley 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.
Who needs integral garage fire doors in Horley?

Common questions
Do you work in Horley?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Horley and the surrounding area, including Crawley and Redhill. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Horley?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Does my garage door need to be a fire door?
If the garage is integral to the house, Approved Document B in England expects the connecting door to be a fire door with smoke control. Requirements in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are similar in purpose but set out in their own guidance.
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.
