Our integral garage fire doors service in Littlehampton is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Littlehampton, fire door work covers everything from HMOs to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
If you are selling a home in Littlehampton, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Littlehampton with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
Rules and responsibilities in Littlehampton
England's framework applies in Littlehampton. 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 Littlehampton, 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
Do you cover BN17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Littlehampton including BN17, and nearby towns such as Bognor Regis and Worthing. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
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.
