Fire door frames for Lancashire buildings
We provide fire door frames across Lancashire, covering 18 towns and 40 postcode districts, including Preston, Burnley and Blackburn.
Frame-to-wall gaps on Lancashire jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out. We photograph every frame we fix in Lancashire before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record.
Wherever your building is in Lancashire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in Lancashire
England's framework applies in Lancashire. 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.
For blocks over 11 metres in Lancashire, 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.

Questions
Do you provide fire door frames across Lancashire?
Yes. We cover all of Lancashire, including Preston and Burnley. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
