Fire door frames: our service in Stamford
Looking for fire door frames in Stamford? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Stamford and the wider Lincolnshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Stamford range from small offices to light industrial buildings and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We photograph every frame we fix in Stamford before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Stamford jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
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.
What you get:
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
Fire door law for Stamford properties
England's framework applies in Stamford. 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 Stamford, 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 from Stamford
Do you cover PE9 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stamford including PE9, and nearby towns such as Peterborough and Corby. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
What is the frame-to-wall gap?
It is the space between the door frame and the surrounding wall, normally hidden by the architrave. If it is not filled with a suitable fire-resisting material, fire and smoke can pass around the door.
