Fire door frames in Wigan

Fire door frames for Wigan buildings

Looking for fire door frames in Wigan? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Wigan and the wider Greater Manchester area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

In and around Wigan, fire door work covers everything from care homes to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Wigan survey. We photograph every frame we fix in Wigan before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record.

BS 8214:2026 and the frame-to-wall gap

The 2026 revision of BS 8214 strengthened its guidance on sealing the gap between the frame and the surrounding structure, listing material types such as stone wool, mastic and fire-rated foam, and putting the emphasis on using what the evidence supports. We fill and seal that gap with materials covered by the doorset's or sealant's test evidence and photograph it before the architraves go back on.

What you get:

• Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
• Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
• Fixing at specified centres with packing
• Architraves and making good
