What fire door frames in Hanworth should include
If you need fire door frames in Hanworth, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Hanworth range from student accommodation to care homes and hotels. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Hanworth survey. We photograph every frame we fix in Hanworth before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record.
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:
- Architraves and making good
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
Rules and responsibilities in Hanworth
England's framework applies in Hanworth. 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Hanworth sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Hanworth, 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 from Hanworth
Do you cover TW13 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hanworth including TW13, and nearby towns such as Hampton and Feltham. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
