Fire door frames in Camberley, done to the evidence
Looking for fire door frames in Camberley? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Camberley and the wider Surrey area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Camberley, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Camberley survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Camberley jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
Why frames fail inspections
Many fire door problems start with the frame: softwood linings too thin for the door, frames cut back to fit a previous door, frames loose in the wall, or gaps behind the architrave stuffed with ordinary foam or left open. A perfect leaf hung in a frame like that cannot be relied on.
On a typical job that means:
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
- Architraves and making good
Fire door law for Camberley properties
England's framework applies in Camberley. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Camberley, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Is Camberley within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Camberley in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Sandhurst. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Camberley?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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 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.
