Getting fire door frames right in Burntwood
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Burntwood, we offer fire door frames with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Burntwood, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We photograph every frame we fix in Burntwood before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Burntwood 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.
Each installation includes:
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
Rules and responsibilities in Burntwood
The rules that apply to fire doors in Burntwood 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 Burntwood 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 work in Burntwood?
Yes, we take on fire door frames in Burntwood and the surrounding area, including Lichfield and Cannock. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Burntwood?
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.
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.
