Fire door frames for Ewell buildings
From the KT17 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door frames across Ewell for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Ewell range from schools to houses with integral garages and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
In older buildings the frame can be the weak point even where the leaf is sound, so we check it on every Ewell survey. Frame-to-wall gaps on Ewell 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:
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering
- Hardwood or certified frames to suit the door
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Assessment of frame condition and compatibility
The regulations behind fire doors in Ewell
The rules that apply to fire doors in Ewell 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 Ewell 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.
Who needs fire door frames in Ewell?

Common questions
Do you cover KT17 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Ewell including KT17, and nearby towns such as Epsom and Sutton. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Ewell?
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.
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.
