Integral garage fire doors: our service in Wednesfield
When you book integral garage fire doors in Wednesfield, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Wednesfield protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, care homes and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For homes in Wednesfield 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 Wednesfield, 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
Fire door law for Wednesfield properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Wednesfield 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 Wednesfield 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.

Questions from Wednesfield
Do you work in Wednesfield?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Wednesfield and the surrounding area, including Willenhall and Wolverhampton. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
Does the garage door need a closer?
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.
