Fire door frames in Sandhurst

Fire door frames in Sandhurst, done to the evidence

Looking for fire door frames in Sandhurst? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Sandhurst and the wider Berkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Buildings in and around Sandhurst range from care homes to family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Frame-to-wall gaps on Sandhurst jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out. In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Sandhurst survey.

BS 8214:2026 and the frame-to-wall gap

The 2026 revision of BS 8214 strengthened its guidance on sealing the gap between the frame and the surrounding structure, listing material types such as stone wool, mastic and fire-rated foam, and putting the emphasis on using what the evidence supports. We fill and seal that gap with materials covered by the doorset's or sealant's test evidence and photograph it before the architraves go back on.

What you get:

• Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
• Fixing at specified centres with packing
• Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
• Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering

The regulations behind fire doors in Sandhurst

In Sandhurst, 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 Sandhurst 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.
