I'm having a FD30 rated fire door with a self closer put in leading to my attached garage. Does it need a fire rated door frame? If such things exist,or intumescent strips fitted to meet building regs? Thanks!

In the case of timber-based fire doors, the certificate of approval and data sheet (or equivalent documentary evidence of fire resistance performance) for that particular fire door leaf will set out the requirements for the door frame.  Usually softwood with minimum sectional dimensions of 70mm wide x 30mm thick plus the thickness of the rebate stop.
