Integral garage fire doors for Coventry buildings
We provide integral garage fire doors in Coventry (CV1 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Around Coventry, hotels, purpose-built blocks of flats and shared houses all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
For homes in Coventry 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 Coventry, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
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:
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Intumescent and smoke seals
Fire door law for Coventry properties
In Coventry, 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 Coventry 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Coventry
Typical settings for integral garage fire doors include homes being sold, houses with integral garages and new-build homes. In Coventry, as elsewhere, the work is usually commissioned by homeowners, often alongside a builder or after a building control visit, so we fit around the household and leave the product details building control asks for.

Questions
Do you work in Coventry?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Coventry and the surrounding area, including Kenilworth and Bedworth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Coventry?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Will building control accept the door?
We supply certified products and leave product and certificate details so your building control body or solicitor can see what was fitted. The final decision is theirs.
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.
