Integral garage fire doors: our service in Trowbridge
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Trowbridge, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Trowbridge, 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.
If you are selling a home in Trowbridge, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Trowbridge with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
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:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Self-closer set gently but positively
Fire door law for Trowbridge properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Trowbridge are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Trowbridge block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions from Trowbridge
Do you work in Trowbridge?
Yes, we take on integral garage fire doors in Trowbridge and the surrounding area, including Bath and Frome. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Trowbridge building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
