Fire door frames: our service in Stockport
When you book fire door frames in Stockport, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Stockport range from purpose-built flats to converted period houses and industrial units. 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 Stockport before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Stockport 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:
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
Fire door law for Stockport properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Stockport 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.
Where a Stockport 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.

Common questions
Do you cover SK1 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stockport including SK1, and nearby towns such as Hazel Grove and Cheadle Hulme. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Stockport 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 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.
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.
