Integral garage fire doors in Aldridge: what's involved
When you book integral garage fire doors in Aldridge, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Aldridge, fire door work covers everything from small offices to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If you are selling a home in Aldridge, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Aldridge with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Intumescent and smoke seals
The regulations behind fire doors in Aldridge
The rules that apply to fire doors in Aldridge are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Aldridge block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
