Fire door frames: our service in Alloa
When you book fire door frames in Alloa, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Alloa protect escape routes in small offices, family homes after loft conversions and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Alloa survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Alloa 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
The regulations behind fire doors in Alloa
Alloa is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Alloa.
Which buildings in Alloa need fire door frames?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Alloa can all commission fire door frames from us. The usual settings are schools and older blocks of flats, though single doors for converted houses are just as welcome.

Common questions
Do you cover FK10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Alloa including FK10, and nearby towns such as Stirling and Falkirk. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Alloa building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Why do you photograph the frame before fitting architraves?
Because the fixing and sealing are hidden once the architraves go on. Photographs give you evidence that the hidden work was done correctly.
