Fire door frames in Clevedon: what's involved
Looking for fire door frames in Clevedon? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Clevedon and the wider Somerset area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Clevedon protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, small blocks of flats and small offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Frame-to-wall gaps on Clevedon jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out. In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Clevedon survey.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Architraves and making good
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
Which fire door rules apply in Clevedon?
In Clevedon, 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 Clevedon 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.
Where fire door frames fit in Clevedon
From converted houses to schools, the requirement for fire door frames in Clevedon comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Is Clevedon within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Clevedon in Somerset and neighbouring towns such as Nailsea. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Clevedon?
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 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.
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.
