West Midlands has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in West Midlands?
In West Midlands, 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 West Midlands 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.

Will building control accept the door?
