Fire door frames: our service in Yateley
Looking for fire door frames in Yateley? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Yateley and the wider Hampshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Yateley has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, small blocks of flats and care homes, 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 Yateley survey. We photograph every frame we fix in Yateley 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Architraves and making good
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
What the rules say for Yateley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Yateley 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 Yateley 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.
Which buildings in Yateley need fire door frames?

In Yateley, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions from Yateley
Do you work in Yateley?
Yes, we take on fire door frames in Yateley and the surrounding area, including Sandhurst and Crowthorne. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Yateley 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 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.
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.
