Fire door frames: our service in Lincolnshire
Whether your building is in Lincoln, Grimsby or a smaller place in Lincolnshire, we can provide fire door frames with the same evidence-led approach.
We photograph every frame we fix in Lincolnshire before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Lincolnshire jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
Lincolnshire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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 Lincolnshire
The rules that apply to fire doors in Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire 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.

Common questions
Do you provide fire door frames across Lincolnshire?
Yes. We cover all of Lincolnshire, including Lincoln and Grimsby. 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.
