Integral garage fire doors in Royal Leamington Spa, done to the evidence
We provide integral garage fire doors in Royal Leamington Spa (CV31 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Royal Leamington Spa range from HMOs to industrial estates 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 Royal Leamington Spa 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 Royal Leamington Spa, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
The regulations behind fire doors in Royal Leamington Spa
In Royal Leamington Spa, 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 Royal Leamington Spa 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.

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.
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.
