Fire door frames in Burnley: what's involved
If you need fire door frames in Burnley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Burnley has a broad mix of buildings, including offices, purpose-built flats and industrial units, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
We photograph every frame we fix in Burnley before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Burnley jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
What the rules say for Burnley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Burnley 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 Burnley 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 Burnley need fire door frames?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Burnley can all commission fire door frames from us. The usual settings are schools and converted houses, though single doors for offices are just as welcome.

Common questions
Do you cover BB10 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Burnley including BB10, and nearby towns such as Nelson and Colne. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Burnley 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.
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.
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.
