Fire doors in Acocks Green protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For homes in Acocks Green 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 Acocks Green, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
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:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
