Fire door frames in Hounslow, done to the evidence
We provide fire door frames in Hounslow (TW3 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Hounslow range from shared houses to hotels and purpose-built blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We photograph every frame we fix in Hounslow before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Hounslow 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:
- Architraves and making good
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
Which fire door rules apply in Hounslow?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Hounslow are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Where a Hounslow block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

In Hounslow, 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Hounslow?
Yes, we take on fire door frames in Hounslow and the surrounding area, including Isleworth and Heston. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Hounslow 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.
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.
