Fire door frames: our service in Cleethorpes
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Cleethorpes, we offer fire door frames with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Cleethorpes protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, family homes after loft conversions and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Cleethorpes survey. We photograph every frame we fix in Cleethorpes before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Architraves and making good
Fire door law for Cleethorpes properties
In Cleethorpes, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Cleethorpes building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Who needs fire door frames in Cleethorpes?
The need for fire door frames usually arises in converted houses or older blocks of flats, and sometimes offices. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Cleethorpes to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Common questions
Do you cover DN35 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Cleethorpes including DN35, and nearby towns such as Grimsby and Kingston upon Hull. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Cleethorpes?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
