In and around Stourport-on-Severn, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For homes in Stourport-on-Severn with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. We fit garage fire doors in Stourport-on-Severn with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
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
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
