Fire door frames for Tamworth buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Tamworth, we offer fire door frames with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Tamworth, HMOs, houses with integral garages and industrial estates all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Tamworth survey. We photograph every frame we fix in Tamworth before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record.
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:
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Architraves and making good
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
The regulations behind fire doors in Tamworth
In Tamworth, 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 Tamworth 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.
Buildings and duty holders in Tamworth
From schools to converted houses, the requirement for fire door frames in Tamworth 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.

Questions from Tamworth
Do you cover B77 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Tamworth including B77, and nearby towns such as Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Tamworth?
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.
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.
