What fire door frames in East Riding of Yorkshire should include
Our fire door frames service runs throughout East Riding of Yorkshire. Main towns include Kingston upon Hull, Bridlington and Beverley, and we cover the smaller places in between.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every East Riding of Yorkshire survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on East Riding of Yorkshire jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in East Riding of Yorkshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in East Riding of Yorkshire?
England's framework applies in East Riding of Yorkshire. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in East Riding of Yorkshire, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions
Do you provide fire door frames across East Riding of Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover all of East Riding of Yorkshire, including Kingston upon Hull and Bridlington. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
