Fire door frames in Lichfield, done to the evidence
When you book fire door frames in Lichfield, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Lichfield range from small offices to light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats. 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 Lichfield before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Lichfield 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:
- Architraves and making good
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials

Questions
Do you work in Lichfield?
Yes, we take on fire door frames in Lichfield and the surrounding area, including Burntwood and Tamworth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Lichfield building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
