Integral garage fire doors: our service in Haywards Heath
Our integral garage fire doors service covers Haywards Heath and the wider West Sussex area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Haywards Heath, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Haywards Heath 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 Haywards Heath, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
When you might need a new garage door
The usual triggers are building control flagging the door during a conversion or extension, a house sale survey raising it, or the discovery that the original door has been swapped for a standard internal door. Some garage conversions remove the need altogether; others create new requirements. Our guide to fire doors in houses explains when they are needed.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
What the rules say for Haywards Heath
England's framework applies in Haywards Heath. 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 Haywards Heath, 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.

Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Haywards Heath and the surrounding area, including Burgess Hill and Crawley. 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.
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.
Can it match my other doors?
Often, yes. Many certified ranges include panelled and flush styles in finishes that blend with standard internal doors.
