What integral garage fire doors in Redditch should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Redditch, we offer integral garage fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Redditch has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, houses with integral garages and industrial estates, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We fit garage fire doors in Redditch with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming. If you are selling a home in Redditch, 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:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
Fire door law for Redditch properties
In Redditch, 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 Redditch 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.

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.
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.
