Fire door frames for Egham buildings
If you need fire door frames in Egham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Egham, small offices, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages 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.
Frame-to-wall gaps on Egham 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 Egham 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:
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Architraves and making good
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
Fire door law for Egham properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Egham 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 Egham 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.

Questions from Egham
Do you work in Egham?
Yes, we take on fire door frames in Egham and the surrounding area, including Staines and Ashford (Surrey). Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
How quickly can you survey in Egham?
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.
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.
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.
