Fire door frames for Purley buildings
Looking for fire door frames in Purley? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Purley and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Purley has a broad mix of buildings, including purpose-built blocks of flats, care homes and shared houses, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Purley survey. We photograph every frame we fix in Purley 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.
What you get:
- Architraves and making good
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
Rules and responsibilities in Purley
England's framework applies in Purley. 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 Purley sits with the London Fire Brigade.
For blocks over 11 metres in Purley, 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.

Common questions
Is Purley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Purley in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Coulsdon. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Purley?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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 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.
