What integral garage fire doors in Crawley should include
If you need integral garage fire doors in Crawley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Crawley, fire door work covers everything from GP surgeries to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Crawley 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 Crawley with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
Why the garage door matters
Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.
Each installation includes:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
Which fire door rules apply in Crawley?
England's framework applies in Crawley. 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 Crawley, 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.
