What fire door frames in Flint should include
Looking for fire door frames in Flint? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Flint and the wider Clwyd area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Flint, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Flint survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Flint jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
Frames on their own
Where a leaf is sound but the frame is not, a new compatible frame can sometimes be fitted to the existing leaf, provided the combination is supported by the leaf's certification. More often, a frame replacement is part of a doorset installation.
What you get:
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Architraves and making good
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
Fire door law for Flint properties
Because Flint is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Flint comes from your fire risk assessment.
Which buildings in Flint need fire door frames?
Typical settings for fire door frames include converted houses, older blocks of flats and offices. In Flint, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

What happens on a survey in Flint?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
What is the frame-to-wall gap?
It is the space between the door frame and the surrounding wall, normally hidden by the architrave. If it is not filled with a suitable fire-resisting material, fire and smoke can pass around the door.
Can a new frame be fitted to my existing door?
Sometimes, if the frame is compatible with the door's certification. Often it is simpler and better evidenced to replace the whole doorset.
