What fire door frames in Hawarden should include
Our fire door frames service covers Hawarden and the wider Clwyd area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Hawarden, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We photograph every frame we fix in Hawarden before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Hawarden 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.
Each installation includes:
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Architraves and making good
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
Which fire door rules apply in Hawarden?
Because Hawarden 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 Hawarden comes from your fire risk assessment.

Questions
Do you work in Hawarden?
Yes, we take on fire door frames in Hawarden and the surrounding area, including Deeside and Buckley. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Hawarden?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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 I use expanding foam around a fire door frame?
Only a fire-rated foam with evidence for that use and gap size. Ordinary expanding foam is not suitable.
