Fire door frames for Hazel Grove buildings
If you need fire door frames in Hazel Grove, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Hazel Grove, small offices, family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Hazel Grove survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Hazel Grove 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials

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.

Questions from Hazel Grove
Do you cover SK2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hazel Grove including SK2, and nearby towns such as Stockport and Cheadle Hulme. 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.
What is the frame-to-wall gap?
It is the space between the door frame and the surrounding wall, normally hidden by the architrave. If it is not filled with a suitable fire-resisting material, fire and smoke can pass around the door.
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.
