Integral garage fire doors in Swindon, done to the evidence
When you book integral garage fire doors in Swindon, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Swindon range from shared houses to clinics and restaurants. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We fit garage fire doors in Swindon with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Swindon, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
Which fire door rules apply in Swindon?
In Swindon, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Swindon building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

In Swindon, as elsewhere, the work is usually commissioned by homeowners, often alongside a builder or after a building control visit, so we fit around the household and leave the product details building control asks for.

Common questions
Do you cover SN1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Swindon including SN1, and nearby towns such as Cirencester and Chippenham. 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.
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 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.
