Integral garage fire doors in Bognor Regis: what's involved
Looking for integral garage fire doors in Bognor Regis? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Bognor Regis and the wider West Sussex area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Bognor Regis range from family homes after loft conversions to care homes and HMOs. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
For homes in Bognor Regis 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 Bognor Regis, 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:
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
Rules and responsibilities in Bognor Regis
England's framework applies in Bognor Regis. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Bognor Regis, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions from Bognor Regis
Is Bognor Regis within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bognor Regis in West Sussex and neighbouring towns such as Chichester. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
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.
