Fire door frames in Kilburn, NW6

Fire door frames: our service in Kilburn

Our fire door frames service covers Kilburn and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Buildings in and around Kilburn range from shared houses to mixed-use office buildings and schools. 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 Kilburn before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Kilburn 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:

• Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
• Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
• Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
• Architraves and making good

The regulations behind fire doors in Kilburn

Fire doors in Kilburn fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

For residential buildings in Kilburn above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
