For homes in Wednesbury with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. We fit garage fire doors in Wednesbury with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
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.
What you get:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step

The rules that apply to fire doors in Wednesbury are England's.

Where a Wednesbury 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.

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.

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.
