Fire door frame installation in Hinckley

Fire door frames: our service in Hinckley

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hinckley, we offer fire door frames with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Buildings in and around Hinckley range from family homes after loft conversions to houses with integral garages and industrial estates. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Hinckley survey. We photograph every frame we fix in Hinckley 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.

Each installation includes:

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