Fire door frames in Daventry, done to the evidence
Our fire door frames service in Daventry is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Daventry protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, care homes and family homes after loft conversions 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 Daventry survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Daventry 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
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
Fire door law for Daventry properties
In Daventry, 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 Daventry 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.

Questions from Daventry
Do you cover NN11 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Daventry including NN11, and nearby towns such as Rugby and Northampton. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Daventry?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
