Fire door frames in Wood Green: what's involved
From the N22 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door frames across Wood Green for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Wood Green protect escape routes in converted flats, student accommodation and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Frame-to-wall gaps on Wood Green jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out. In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Wood Green survey.
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:
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
What the rules say for Wood Green
England's framework applies in Wood Green. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Wood Green, 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
Do you work in Wood Green?
Yes, we take on fire door frames in Wood Green and the surrounding area, including Muswell Hill and Tottenham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Wood Green?
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.
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.
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.
