Integral garage fire doors: our service in Gorseinon
We provide integral garage fire doors in Gorseinon (SA4 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Gorseinon has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
If you are selling a home in Gorseinon, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Gorseinon with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
What we fit
We fit a certified FD30S doorset or leaf with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closer set to close and latch the door without slamming, and a threshold detail that keeps the smoke seal effective. We can match the style of your other internal doors where the certified range allows.
On a typical job that means:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
The regulations behind fire doors in Gorseinon
Gorseinon is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

The need for integral garage fire doors usually arises in houses with integral garages or homes being sold, and sometimes homes being extended. In Gorseinon we can work for you directly or alongside your builder, and single doors are as welcome as whole-house jobs.

Questions from Gorseinon
Do you work in Gorseinon?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Gorseinon and the surrounding area, including Llanelli and Swansea. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Gorseinon building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
